The Wife of Kebbi State Governor, Hajiya Zainab Nasare Nasir Idris has called on traditional rulers in the state to support her programs on girl-child education with ideas and advice that will ensure the program’s success.
She made the call at the Emir of Gwandu’s palace in Birnin Kebbi when she paid him a courtesy visit.
Top government functionary wives accompanied the wife of the Kebbi Governor, all Local Government Chairmen’s wives, and all the female councilors across Wards.
Nasare explained to the royal father that under the present administration of her husband, Dr. Nasiru Idris, she is set to prioritize education, specifically focusing on empowering the girl-child. She said her position as the wife of the Governor and her experiences would enable her to advocate for some policies, launch initiatives, and engage communities to ensure every girl in Kebbi State has access to quality education, fostering social progress and gender equality.
While describing the role of traditional rulers who are fathers to all in any administration as critical in governance, there is a need for traditional rulers and the entire people of the state to support her programs.
However, the Emir of Gwandu and Chairman of the Traditional Council of Chiefs, Dr Iliyasu Bashir appreciated the wife of the governor and her entourage for the visit. While describing the education of children; both boys and girls as a bedrock of every society, he assured her of maximum support and cooperation.
