JIGAWA STATE AT 35
Saluting the Founding Fathers, Leaders, and People of Jigawa State on the 35th Anniversary of the Creation of Jigawa State
27th August 1991 – 27th August 2026
On this solemn and historic occasion of the 35th Anniversary of the creation of Jigawa State, the Government and Good People of Jigawa State give gratitude to Almighty Allah, the Most Beneficent and the Most Merciful, for His mercy, guidance and protection over the State and its People.
On 27th August 1991, Jigawa State was created by the Federal Military Government under the leadership of General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, GCFR, as part of a historic restructuring of the federation to bring governance closer to the people and promote more balanced development. Carved out of the old Kano State, Jigawa began its journey with Dutse as its capital and with a people united by history, purpose, faith, culture, enterprise and a shared aspiration for peace, progress and development.
This anniversary is a solemn moment of thanksgiving, remembrance, renewed hope and commitment. It offers an opportunity to salute the patriots whose vision, advocacy, sacrifice and public service made the birth and consolidation of Jigawa State possible.
Special tribute is paid to the founding fathers, elder statesmen, community leaders, public servants, professionals, women and youth leaders, civil society organizations, development partners and all men and women of goodwill who believed that the people of this land deserved a State through which their hopes and aspirations could find fuller expression.
With gratitude, Jigawa State acknowledges the services of all those, living and departed, who have had the privilege of leading the State since its creation, including the pioneer Military Administrator, Major-General Olayinka Sule, psc, dss, mni; the first elected civilian Governor, Alhaji Ali Sa’ad Birnin-Kudu; subsequent military administrators and civilian governors, including Brigadier General Ibrahim Aliyu, Colonel Rasheed Alade Shekoni, Lieutenant Colonel Abubakar Zakariya Maimalari, Alhaji Ibrahim Saminu Turaki, Alhaji (Dr.) Sule Lamido, CON and Alhaji Muhammad Badaru Abubakar, CON, mni; as well as deputy governors, legislators, judges, commissioners, heads of service, permanent secretaries, local government leaders and civil servants who have contributed in different capacities to the growth of the State.
The government and people of Jigawa State also salute the traditional institutions and royal fathers across the emirates of Hadejia, Kazaure, Gumel, Ringim, and Dutse, together with all districts, village, and ward heads, ulamas, and the community leaders who have continued to serve as custodians of heritage, guardians of peace, and bridges between government and the people.
From the earliest days of institution-building to the present, Jigawa has advanced through the steady labour of its people. Farmers, traders, teachers, health workers, artisans, scholars, entrepreneurs, security personnel, religious leaders, and public officers, and many others, have all helped define the character of a State known for peace, resilience, discipline, and unity of purpose for the progress and development of the State.
As Governor, I recognise that the greatest tribute we can pay to our founding fathers and past leaders is not merely to remember their names, but to keep faith with their ideals and exemplary leadership. Those ideals require us to preserve peace, strengthen justice, expand opportunity, care for the vulnerable, protect public resources, respect our elders, invest in our young people, and build institutions that will outlive us.
Where is Professor Amupitan?
I don't know him, and we never met.
I have no reason to wish to meet him, either. When they nominated him as the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, the nation received the shocking disclosure of his 2020 legal brief to the international community in which he claimed that the violence in the country was a Muslim pogrom against Christians.
The violence affected and still affects followers of all religions and speakers of every language.
For this reason, I, among many others, felt bad about the assertion he made and assumed that he was not a good choice for that office. This country's elections had incrementally got better with each new leadership.
Professor Jega gave the nation its best election since the disputed June 12, 1993, that produced Chief MKO Abiola, now recognised as a duly elected president who did not, however, take the office.
Professor Mahmud Yakubu did the impossible by rallying the civil society, CSOs, and local and foreign observers to approve all his elections.
Not one election under him was ever rejected by any serious observer or CSO.
Now, look at what has just happened in Osun state. Under Amupitan's leadership, the country has attained a transparent electoral process.
Everyone - civil society, the EU, local and foreign observers are commending this standout performance, praising the exceptional skill and determination to improve the process as manifested by INEC's seamless uploading of the governorship election results to its IReV.
With all the loud acclaim that followed, however, I have been asking myself, where is the captain of the ship, Professor Amupitan?
He hasn't picked the microphone, 48 hours hence, or appeared before the TV cameras to proudly show off the success. Where is he?
We are a country of wilful behaviour, chest beating public officials who are proudly and aggressively proclaiming success without achieving half of what we are talking about here. Where is he?
We are not used to seeing this kind of humility, patience, and restraint. Isn't it fair that the man should come out of his shell and dance to the drums in celebration?
Q & A SESSION: A contractor was given a job of drilling a water borehole to a particular depth (say 170 metres). However, sufficient amount of water was found at a lesser depth (say 90 metres). What is the ruling on the amount budgeted for the remaining 80 metres?
