Alhaji Salisu Hakimi has been appointed as the District Head of Buma. Additionally, Nasiru Umar Maizabo was appointed as the Village Head of Marafan Garin Haruna in the Tiggi District of Augie Local Government Area.

On the social welfare front, Governor Idris donated N50 million to persons with disabilities following a solidarity visit to the Government House in Birnin Kebbi. The Governor reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to full inclusiveness through the Kebbi State Commission for Persons with Disabilities, stating that the commission aims to harness the potential of individuals with disabilities and integrate them into the state’s development efforts.
