Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal, has described the State Development Plan from 2025 to 2034 as a long-term roadmap that reflects a collective goal to transform the state.

In a statement shared with Saturday PUNCH by the governor’s spokesperson, Sulaiman Idris, Lawal launched the 10-year development plan at the JB Yakubu Secretariat in Gusau on Friday.

He revealed that the state government had engaged KPMG Advisory as the lead consultant to develop the plan.

The governor noted that KPMG collaborated with Zamfara Executive Council members and all stakeholders, including traditional rulers and religious leaders, over a period of eight months to develop the plan.

He added that the development plan would become a benchmark for economic growth—not merely for Nigeria, but for the continent of Africa.

“We will use resources, innovation, and governance to promote inclusive growth, stability, and opportunity. The plan is built on six pillars: Economy; Infrastructure; Social Welfare; Human Capital; Governance; and Environmental Sustainability.

“The development plan is built on robust data, wide stakeholder engagement, and alignment with national and global development frameworks, including the Sustainable Development Goals, Nigeria’s National Development Plan 2050, and the African Union Agenda 2063.

“Zamfara’s strength in agriculture and natural resources will be maximized through partnerships like the MoFI agreement and African Development Bank funding. This aims to boost mechanized farming, agro-processing, and value chains, creating jobs, improving food security, opening markets, and reducing poverty-driven insecurity,” the governor said.

Lawal said Zamfara stood on a favourable pedestal with the State’s plan.

He stated, “We are not merely dreaming—we are preparing to deliver. We are redefining the fate of our state. We are rekindling hope for the young, dignity for the vulnerable, opportunity for the enterprising, and stability for all.

“Let the launch of the Zamfara State Development Plan 2025–2034 mark not a mere political ambition, but a turning point in the history of our state. Let it be said that when Zamfara was at its lowest, we rose not with rhetoric, but with resolve; not with empty promises, but with purposeful plans; not with despair, but with vision.”
