Kebbi State Governor, Nasir Idris, has approved the establishment of two new districts in Argungu Local Government Area as part of efforts to improve grassroots administration and strengthen the state’s traditional institutions.
The approval was announced in a statement issued by the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Garba Umar Dutsinmari, and made available to journalists in Birnin Kebbi.
According to the statement, the governor’s decision followed a resolution passed by the Argungu Local Government Council recommending the creation of additional districts within the council area.
The commissioner said the newly created Yamman District, with headquarters in Gungu, will be headed by Alhaji Abubakar Mohammad Mera, while Darikwai Muhammadu Ibrahim has been appointed as the District Head of the upgraded Gwagwange District.
He explained that the creation of the new district and the upgrading of Gwagwange District were carried out in line with the provisions of the Kebbi State Local Government Law, 2008, Section 10 (A) and (B), which empower local governments to create and upgrade districts.
Dutsinmari urged the newly appointed district heads to discharge their responsibilities with discipline, honesty, transparency and dedication, noting that their appointments were based on merit and track records.
He also assured them of the continued support of the state government and the Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs in the discharge of their duties.
