The Emir of Kano, Khalifa Muhammadu Sanusi II, has praised Zamfara State Governor Dauda Lawal for his performance, citing developments in education, health, security and infrastructure.
The Emir made the remarks on Sunday during the commissioning of the rebuilt and equipped Zawiyya Mosque and Islamiyya School in Gusau, Zamfara State, where he was the guest of honour.
Sanusi said people familiar with the mosque’s former structure would better appreciate the scale and quality of the reconstruction carried out under Lawal’s administration.
He also urged worshippers and members of the community to maintain the facility, particularly by keeping the mosque clean.
“The mosque should be kept clean and in good condition. We must maintain cleanliness when we come here because the mosque is a symbol of Islam,” the Emir said.
He commended the governor for the project and prayed for divine reward for his efforts.
“I can see the good work you are doing in Zamfara State in education, health, security and infrastructure,” he said.
The Emir added that he had known Lawal since his days in the banking industry and was familiar with his capabilities.
“I am impressed by his performance and happy to see him doing such wonderful work as governor,” he said.
The Zawiyya is one of Zamfara’s oldest Islamic institutions and has a long history of producing scholars in different fields.
At the Friday sermon held at the rebuilt mosque, Professor Ibrahim Maqari spoke about peaceful coexistence and the importance of cleanliness, particularly in places of worship.
