Zamfara govt house, Ministries deserted as Gov. Matawalle visits wife in US

In the absent of the top government functionaries, it was observed that most workers also stayed away from their offices. The Zamfara State Government House, ministries and agencies are presently deserted after the state governor, Bello Matawalle, left the country for United States, where one of his wives delivered a baby girl. The governor left the country on Sunday, September 19, 2021 after vowing that the ban on mobile telecommunications in the state will remain until the the bandits terrorising the state are dealt with. Matawalle had pledged to remain in the state to fill the pains of the communication lockdown together with the masses. Throughout last week, most top government functionaries including commissioners, permanent secretaries, among others stayed away from their offices, a situation that further grounded the state following the shutting down of GSM network, closure of markets, schools and restriction of movement in some areas.
