In a move aimed at rehabilitating political youths and integrating them into governance, the Kebbi State Governor, Dr. Nasir Idris, has appointed 200 members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as Special Assistants (SAs) with monthly salaries.

In a statement by Governor Idris Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Yahaya Sarki, the appointment letters were presented at the State APC Secretariat in Birnin Kebbi by the State Party Chairman, Abubakar Muhammadu Kana Zuru.

Zuru described the initiative as a fulfillment of Governor Idris’s promise to empower political youths and transform them into productive contributors to society.

“Kauran Gwandu has fulfilled 85% of his campaign promises. As a veteran labor leader, he understands the value of service delivery and has transformed Kebbi State through transparent and inclusive governance,” Zuru stated.

The State APC Youth Leader, Atiku Bio Zauro, urged the appointees to reciprocate the governor’s gesture by remaining law-abiding and conducting themselves responsibly at public events.

“We are deeply grateful to Kauran Gwandu for this act of magnanimity, which has empowered hundreds of our members with meaningful roles and monthly stipends,” Zauro added.

Mallam Kalala, one of the newly appointed SAs, pledged that the youths would abandon all forms of thuggery, refrain from disruptive behavior, and act responsibly, especially at events attended by the governor.
