Zabarkano Association Of Nigeria has inaugurated its 193 National and state executive in a well attended gathering of members in Abuja.

The swearing in of the national and state executive was described as  another milestone in the history of the association, in particular, the Nigerian Zarma/Zabarmawa people in general.

The Secretary General of Zabarkano Association of Nigeria, Dr. Lawwali Sani Kasgada, revealed that, “indeed it is long overdue for the Zarma to have stated engaging in activities like this at the national level, given that the level of awareness of many Nigerians about the Zarma/Zabarmawa is very low even though, it is one of the most important ethnic nationalities in Nigeria North Western states of Kebbi, Sokoto and Zamfara as well as North Central state of Niger.

“Zarma/Zabarmawa have held very important and sensitive leadership positions in those states ranging from commissioners, Speakers of  states Houses of Assemblies, Chief Judge of the state, Solicitor-General and Commissioner of Justice of a state, Shari’a Court of Appeal and High court Judges, etc”.

Dr. Lawwali Sani Kasgada said, in addition to producing some of the most renowned business moguls in the oil and gas, agricultural sector as well as the commodity business sub-sector.

Dr. Kasgada revealed to newsmen that, “with a view to disabusing the minds of those that still nurse the kind of perception about the Zarma/Zabarmawa, to let them know that we are people that have always been coexisting with our fellow Nigerian compatriots who mostly hardly differentiate between the linguistic differences of people from the North.

“The news for this kind of association to support the democratic values of our dear nation could have come at a better time than now,” Kadgada stressed.
