The workshop will bring together global experts, policymakers, and scholars to discuss key issues including resilient leadership, financial stability, public sector innovation, managing change, and ethical data use in governance.

Governor Lawal will be joined by top government officials, including commissioners and advisers, as well as representatives from the Zamfara Information Technology Development Agency.

A major highlight of the visit will be an interactive session with postgraduate students, focusing on how research can shape policymaking and drive practical governance outcomes. The discussion will draw insights from Zamfara’s Six-Point Rescue Agenda.

The participation signals the state government’s push to adopt research-driven and data-backed solutions to address challenges in security, healthcare, education, infrastructure, and economic development.
