On education, the governor said several renovation works were either completed or ongoing, while facilities were provided for various schools, at all levels, among other efforts to improve quality of education in the state.

On civil service, the governor said steps are being taken  to improve service delivery to the people of the state.

‘Salary is being paid in the third week of every month even without FAAC allocations, while we have among other strides, increased the monthly cash allocations to the MDAs’ he said.

The governor added that mulitibillion naira investments were also made and still being made to ensure the provision of accessible, affordable and quality healthcare for the people of the state.

 The Kauran Gwandu  also said the same efforts were also replicated in the agricultural sector to guarantee food security and value addition for the various categories of farmers.

He noted that it was only Kebbi state that provided free fertilizers, inputs and other implements to encourage people of the state to produce more food.

‘Whatever we have done at the state level has been done by the LGAs to ease things for the people.

They have successfully executed several developmental projects and boosted security as we have not interfered in their affairs. 

 We will sustain these modest  achievements to honour our contract with the people of the state.

We will continue to spend their money to bolster their comfort and welfare as the money belongs to them’ the Kauran Gwandu promised. The governor also  thanked people of the state for their support, loyalty and prayers for his administration-Team@orientactualmags.com  Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
