Governor Bello Matawalle of Zamfara State has appointed and sworn-in sole administrators for the 14 local government area of the state.

Recall that the House, in its second extra-ordinary sitting on Thursday, had dissolved the chairman following allegations of financial recklessness and improper record keeping by the LG leaderships.

Mr Matawalle, in a statement on Friday by his Special Adviser on Media, Zailani Bappa, said the appointment followed a recommendation by the Assembly, a day after stripping all the LG chairmen of their portfolios.
