Gov Matawalle Assents To Legislative, Judiciary Autonomy Bills

Governor Bello Matawallen has assented to the Zamfara State
Legislative and Judiciary Autonomy Bills into law.

The laws were signed at a brief ceremony held at the Government
House, Gusau, on Thursday.

In a statement issued by the Director-General Media and
Communication, Yusuf Idris Gusau noted that the signing of the laws
indicated the importance the governor has for their autonomy.

“The two new laws are now the Zamfara State Judiciary Autonomy
Law and the Zamfara State Legislative Fund Management Law and
Related Matters Connected Therewith, 2021 (1442 AH).”

While signing the bills into law, Matawalle noted that as a true
democrat, he will continue to ensure that all statutory
responsibilities are directed to the right channels.

“I do not see any reason why we will not allow the autonomy of
these two strong arms of government which will ensure the smooth
running of government and the progress of our dear state.

“We will not politicise or joke with your responsibilities, your
funding and the autonomy, therefore, with this signing into law, it
is my strong conviction that we will continue to work as partners
for the growth and progress of our dear state and the good people
of Zamfara,” he noted.

He appealed to them to guard against all forms of corrupt
practises and also enjoined them to weed out anyone found wanting
in that direction.

Responding, the Speaker of the Zamfara State House of Assembly,
Rt. Hon. Nasiru Ma’azu Magarya commended the governor for
maintaining a cordial relationship with the legislature and
judiciary, making the three arms of government a complete and
responsible family.

Hon. Magarya assured that both the legislative and judicial arms
of government in the state will continue to support the executive
for the benefit of the state.

Present at the brief event were all the principal officers of
the State House of Assembly, Acting Secretary to the state
government who is also the Head of the Civil Service, Alhaji Kabiru
Balarabe among others.
