X-raying Governor Idris’s First year and first Term

By: Ibrahim jirgi

Over the past year, Kebbi State Governor Comrade Dr. Nasir Idris has made outstanding progress in transforming the state, particularly the state capital. Since assuming office, Governor Idris has implemented various initiatives to boost internally generated revenue and ensure the state is better equipped to meet the needs of its people.

One of the key areas of focus for Governor Idris has been enhancing revenue collection in the state. By implementing effective measures and strategies, the Governor has been able to significantly increase the state’s revenue generation capabilities. This has allowed the government to allocate more resources towards critical development projects and services for the people of Kebbi State.

In addition to improving revenue collection, Governor Idris has also prioritized security in the state, particularly in the southern region where farmers were facing significant challenges. By implementing comprehensive security measures and working closely with security agencies, Governor Idris has been able to restore peace and safety in the area.

Today, farmers can now go about their work without fear, contributing to the overall development and prosperity of the state.
Governor Idris has also invested in infrastructure development, particularly in the state capital of Birnin Kebbi.

The rehabilitation and construction of roads, roundabouts, an ultra-modern motor park, secretariat complex, and feeder roads are all part of the Governor’s efforts to modernize the capital and make it comparable to other state capitals in the country.

Furthermore, Governor Idris has fulfilled his campaign promises by providing full employment to those in casual jobs in the state civil service. This has not only reduced unemployment in the state but has also improved the living standards of many families. Additionally, the health sector in Kebbi State continues to receive the Governor’s attention, ensuring that quality healthcare services are accessible to all residents.

In recognition of the importance of traditional institutions, Governor Idris recently approved the creation of two additional districts and appointed new district heads in the state. Similarly, the Governor has also approved the creation of new village areas and appointed village heads, demonstrating his commitment to preserving and promoting the cultural heritage of the state.

Without a doubt, Governor Idris has made significant strides in transforming Kebbi State in his last year in office. From boosting revenue collection, enhancing security, and investing in infrastructure and human capital development, Governor Idris has shown strong leadership and dedication to improving the lives of the people of Kebbi State.

His visionary approach and proactive governance have set the state on a path towards greater prosperity and development.

The Adara Development Association (ADA) has expressed deep shock and sadness over a deadly attack by unknown gunmen on Wakeh community in Agunu Ward, Kachia Local Government Area of Kaduna State, which occurred in the early hours of Sunday, September 7, 2025.

According to a statement by the ADA National Publicity Secretary, Livinus Paul Magaji, heavily armed attackers invaded the village, blocking entrance routes to prevent possible assistance from neighbouring communities.

The assault left eight people dead and nine others seriously injured. Victims were reportedly given mass burial, while the injured are receiving treatment at St. Gerald Catholic Hospital, Kakuri, Alheri Hospital, and Royal Hospital in Kachia. Several properties, including a bus, were destroyed, causing millions of naira in losses.

The association noted that such attacks have become increasingly frequent in Adara communities since, despite the presence of security in the area. ADA strongly condemned the violence, describing it as barbaric and inhumane.

“ADA leadership calls on the Kaduna State Government and other relevant authorities to take immediate and decisive action to protect lives and property and to ensure that perpetrators are brought to justice,” the statement said.

It added that the Adara community is ready to collaborate with government and security agencies to curb the ongoing attacks.

The association also extended condolences to the families of the victims, wishing speedy recovery to those injured, while urging residents to remain calm, vigilant, and avoid taking the law into their own hands.

ADA reaffirmed its commitment to peaceful coexistence and called on all indigenes and residents of Adara land to work with government and stakeholders to build sustainable peace in the region.
