Jigawa approves low-key programme to mark 35th anniversary

The Jigawa State Executive Council has greenlit a modest program to celebrate the 35th anniversary of its founding on August 27, 1991. This plan, outlined in a statement from the Commissioner for Information, Sports and Culture, Alhaji Sagir Musa Ahmed, aims to institutionalize future celebrations and establish a framework for state honors.

The council also approved a mosque-wide prayer initiative, coordinated by religious leaders, to mark the occasion. Jigawa State was formed from Kano State, and the anniversary will highlight its 35-year history, achievements, and the contributions of those instrumental to its progress.
