Kebbi State Governor, Nasir Idris, has taken significant steps to enhance local governance by approving the creation of seven new districts within the Zuru Emirate. This decision aims to strengthen grassroots administration and improve community engagement. The announcement was made by the state Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Garba Umar Dutsinmari, in a statement issued from Birnin Kebbi on Thursday.

The newly established districts include Peni, Mahuta, Bangu, and four others, which have yet to be named in the reports. Alongside the creation of these districts, traditional rulers have been appointed to oversee local governance, a move that is expected to foster stability and enhance the cultural heritage of the region.S1S2
