The Emir of Kano, His Royal Highness Khalifah Muhammad Sanusi II, has expressed satisfaction with Governor Dauda Lawal’s performance in Zamfara State.

The Emir was the guest of honour at the commissioning of the rebuilt and fully equipped Zawiyya Mosque and Islamiyya School in Gusau on Friday.

The Zawiyya is one of the oldest Islamic institutions in Zamfara State, with a long history of producing Islamic scholars across various fields.

In his Friday sermon at the rebuilt mosque, Professor Ibrahim Maqari emphasised the need for peaceful coexistence among people and the importance of cleanliness, particularly in places of worship.

Speaking at the commissioning ceremony, the Emir of Kano, Khalifah Muhammad Sanusi II, said only those familiar with the former structure of the Zawiyya could fully appreciate the scale and quality of the renovation carried out by Governor Lawal.

He also stressed the importance of keeping the rebuilt mosque clean and properly maintained.

He said, “The mosque should be kept clean and in good condition. We must maintain cleanliness whenever we come here because the mosque is a symbol of Islam.

“I am delighted with this work. May Almighty Allah reward His Excellency.

“I can see the good work you are doing in Zamfara State in the areas of education, health, security and infrastructure.

“I am not surprised, as I have known your governor since his days in the banking industry. I know his capabilities, and I am impressed with his performance. I am happy to see him doing such wonderful work as governor.”
