Speaking during the swearing -in ceremony in Birnin Kebbi, the governor recalled that the area development councils were suspended two years ago due to paucity of funds. " However, we now have better appreciation of what can be done to generate more economic activities.

He commended the state House of Assembly for accepting their nominations and their speedy confirmation.

The governor challenged the new appointees to be more diligent in the discharge of their duties, to better the lives of the people while urging them to " hit the ground running", especially when they were appointed close to the commencement of the rainy season for agricultural production.

He also urged them to collate data on their various comparative advantages as regards their endowments like solid minerals and other potentials and to always make consultations with security agencies in strengthening security in their respective communities.

The oath of office and alligiance was administered on the new Sole Administrators by Justice Abubakar Sadiq Bello who represented the Chief Judge of the State
