The Chief Judge of Zamfara State, Justice Kulu Aliyu, administered the oath of office to the new Governor and his Deputy, Malam Mani Mallam Mummuni.
Speaking after taking the oath of office, Lawal said he will focus mainly on security, agriculture, health and human development, stressing that he met an empty treasury from the immediate past administration
The new Governor solicited the support of the people and urged them to bear with his administration because he inherited huge liabilities.
