Kebbi State Governor, Comrade Dr. Nasir Idris, has allocated five Special Assistant (SA) slots to members of the state’s Deaf Association.
The governor made this announcement during an Iftar gathering with the association’s leadership and selected members at the Government House in Birnin Kebbi on Sunday.
He stated that the decision was aimed at promoting inclusivity and ensuring that all residents, including persons with disabilities, have a role in governance.
“I appreciate your support during my campaign and even now. This government is for the people, by the people, and will continue to recognize everyone’s contributions,” Gov. Idris said.
Responding on behalf of the association, its leader, Issa Umar Ambursa, expressed gratitude for the governor’s gesture. However, he noted that their members were previously overlooked in appointments given to persons with disabilities, despite actively supporting the governor’s election campaign in both urban and rural areas.
Ambursa described the current administration as their own and pledged continued support for Gov. Idris, including in the 2027 elections.
The event reaffirmed the state government’s commitment to inclusivity and recognition of all communities.
