In his first two years in office, Kebbi State governor Nasir Idris revealed that his administration had employed more than 5, 000 youths.
In response to assertions made by opposition groups that no youth had been employed in the state’s civil service, the governor made this known during an interaction with a political group in Birnin Kebbi.
Governor Idris emphasized the transparency commitment of his administration.
He said, “We will not make any promises or assert any claims that we have not done them.”
He described the employment statistics by breakdown, revealing that 2, 000 youths were hired as teachers, over 1,500 as health workers, and the rest as lawyers and other professionals.
The governor urged that such criticisms be fact-based, while also acknowledging the value of constructive criticism.
He stated that the public could examine every 5, 000 jobs and verify them.

The governor also disclosed that he had the necessary contacts with President Bola Tinubu to make some critical suggestions and requests for possible solutions to reducing or eliminating the threat in Kebbi State.
Following a deadly armed banditry attack in Tadurga town of Zuru local government, Major-General Muhammadu Sani Sami Gomo II, the emir of the country, arrived at the state capital and addressed a high-powered delegation from the four local governments of the country.
He reaffirmed his conviction that any responsible government should prioritize ensuring relative peace, protection of life, and property.
The governor argued that making a wise use of resources for security and genuine sacrifice were worthwhile endeavors.
Even if it means dumping the state treasury, Idris said, “I will do whatever is humanly possible to protect the lives of the people.”
He stated that “these are parts of the requests to be presented to Mr. for consideration,” pointing out that the state’s persistent attacks were caused by inadequate manpower, insufficient sophisticated weapons, a limited number of special military units, and the complicated nature of Kebbi State’s geographical terrain.
The state, in his opinion, has border crossings with the neighboring states of Zamfara, Sokoto, and Niger, both of which are generally thought to be the most affected.
Prior to the governor’s statement, the governor was informed by the emir of Zuru, Major-General Muhammadu Sani Sami Gomo II, that the weekend banditry attacks in Tadurga had claimed dozens of lives and valuable properties that have not been recovered.
The royal father warned that unless urgent measures are taken, the major cities of the emirate will soon experience an uncontrollable congestion of displaced people because the purpose of the visit included expressing gratitude and appreciation for the numerous developmental projects being carried out in the emirate.
