Zamfara State – Gov. Dauda Lawal of Zamfara has approved the appointment of Brig.-Gen. Abdulkadir Gumi (rtd) as acting chairman of the Security Trust Fund Board of Trustees.

This is contained in a statement issued by Abubakar Nakwada, secretary to the Zamfara state government (SSG), in Gusau on Sunday.

The appointment takes immediate effect and follows the resignation of the former Inspector-General of Police, I-GP MD Abubakar (rtd), the pioneer board chairman of the fund.

The fund was established by Mr Lawal shortly after assuming office to mobilise resources to support security agencies in the fight against banditry and kidnapping in Zamfara.

Mr Nakwada said Mr Lawal approved Mr Gumi’s appointment based on his credentials as well as the quality leadership he exhibited while in active military service.

“The appointment takes immediate effect.” – Abubakar Nakwada

“His Excellency extends his best wishes to Brig.-Gen. Abubakar Gumi (rtd) in his new role and urges all relevant stakeholders to fully support him in realising the goals of the Board.” – Abubakar Nakwada

“The Board is expected to now begin delivering on its mandate to strengthen the security framework and support our security forces in the fight against banditry and other criminalities in all parts of Zamfara state.” – Abubakar Nakwada
