Gov. Dauda Lawal of Zamfara has approved the appointment of 282 Senior Special Assistants (SSAs) to promote inclusive governance.
This was announced in a statement signed by the Secretary to the State Government, Abubakar Nakwada, and released in Gusau on Thursday by his Senior Special Assistant on Media, Sulaiman Tudu.
The SSG stated that some Technical Assistants and Special Assistants have been promoted to Senior Special Assistants. Nakwada noted that these appointments demonstrate Lawal’s commitment to inclusive, participatory governance, grassroots engagement, and increased citizen involvement in government affairs.
He added that the move also sought to enhance effective communication of government policies, programmes, and achievements across the state.
“This development further reinforces the administration’s commitment to accountability, transparency, and people-centred development under the Rescue and Rebuild Agenda. “The appointees will support the governor in various roles, including community engagement, grassroots mobilisation, matters concerning persons with disabilities, media and publicity, and other assigned duties. “Lawal urges the appointees to demonstrate dedication, loyalty, professionalism, and commitment to public service,” the statement added. He said the appointees will serve as effective links between the government and the people, ensuring diverse community voices are represented in governance.
