In his remarks, Governor Lawal urged residents and traditional institutions to cooperate in maintaining the commissioned structures and supporting his administration’s objectives.

“I’m here in Anka to fulfil our campaign promises to the people of Anka Local Government and Zamfara State. The official commissioning of the new palace for the ‘Sarkin Zamfaran Anka’ and the Zamfara State Council of Chiefs concludes today’s activities,” he said.

The governor added that the Anka–Abbare Road is a critical route that will enhance access to the hinterland, boost economic activity, and generate multiplier effects.

He emphasized the importance of a conducive work environment for civil servants, noting that the new local government secretariat and offices for the Hisbah and Community Protection Guards will strengthen law and order in the state.

“Education is the foundation of society. Our targeted actions aim to create a safe, secure, and supportive environment for students. I have also commissioned the reconstructed SAFE School Anka today,” he added.
