INCLUSIVE RECRUITMENT: NO ONE LEFT BEHIND

The ongoing Basic Teachers Recruitment Exercise in the State has demonstrated an important principle of good governance: every citizen deserves an opportunity to participate, regardless of physical disability.

Today, persons with disabilities, including deaf and blind candidates, participated in the ongoing Computer-Based Test (CBT) examination as part of the recruitment exercise. Special arrangements were made to enable them to take the examination in a manner that accommodates their needs and allows them to demonstrate their abilities.

This is a significant and commendable step towards building a more inclusive, equitable and people-centred public service.

Under the leadership of His Excellency, Dauda Lawal, the deliberate inclusion of persons with disabilities in this recruitment exercise sends a powerful message: no citizen should be left behind when opportunities are created by government.

The enthusiasm, confidence and determination displayed by these candidates were particularly inspiring. Their participation has also reminded us that disability does not mean inability. With the right opportunity and support, persons with disabilities can demonstrate remarkable talents, competence and capacity.

We commend the Recruitment Committee for recognizing the importance of inclusion and for putting the necessary arrangements in place to ensure that persons with disabilities could participate meaningfully in the exercise.

We also acknowledge the role of Zamfara Information Technology Development Agency (ZITDA) in supporting the technology-driven recruitment process and contributing to an examination environment where technology serves as a tool for accessibility, transparency and equal participation.

This is more than a recruitment exercise. It is a demonstration of inclusive governance and a reminder that government opportunities should be accessible to all citizens.

We commend the State Government for this laudable initiative and encourage continued efforts towards ensuring that persons with disabilities are fully included in education, employment, digital services and other government programmes.

Inclusion is progress.
Equal opportunity is good governance.
No one should be left behind.

A New Chapter for Healthcare in Zamfara State

As part of His Excellency, Governor Dauda Lawal’s Digital Transformation Agenda, Zamfara State is taking a significant step towards transforming how healthcare is managed and delivered.

General Hospital Gusau has officially gone live with its Electronic Health Record Management System, becoming the first of seven General Hospitals in the State to deploy the system.

This is only the beginning.

General Hospitals in Anka, Maru, Kauran Namoda, Maradun, Nasarawa Burkullu, and Yariman Bakura are also being equipped with the system and will be launched in due course.

Beyond digitising patient records, these facilities will be integrated with the already deployed Zamfara Drugs Management digital platform, creating a more connected and transparent system for the management and supply of medicines and medical consumables.

This integration will enhance visibility across the healthcare supply chain, strengthen accountability, improve inventory management, and help ensure that essential medicines and supplies are available where and when they are needed.

But this transformation goes beyond computers and technology.

It is about better patient records, less paperwork, improved access to information, data-driven decision-making, stronger accountability, and ultimately, better-quality healthcare for the people of Zamfara State.

This milestone is also a testament to the power of collaboration. We sincerely appreciate the Ministry of Health, Hospital Services Management Board, Zamfara Internal Revenue Service, Primary Healthcare Board, Zamfara Drugs Management Agency, as well as the dedicated health workers and stakeholders whose commitment continues to drive this transformation.

We are not simply digitising hospitals. We are building a smarter, more connected, efficient, and accountable healthcare system for Zamfara State.

Zamfara Information Technology Development Agency, led by Dr Habib Gajam, attended a two-day implementation workshop on the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA) 2023 and the General Application and Implementation Directive (GAID) for State Governments, organized by the Nigerian Data Protection Commission (NDPC) with the support of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF).

The workshop brings together State ICT Commissioners and Heads of ICT Agencies, Attorneys General and Commissioners for Justice, Commissioners of Education, Heads of Internal Revenue Services, and other key stakeholders to enhance states’ capacity in data protection, privacy governance, and regulatory compliance.

With government institutions increasingly generating and processing large volumes of citizen and personnel data, the establishment of Chief Data Protection Officers (CDPOs) and Data Protection Officers (DPOs) across Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) is essential. These officers play a critical role in safeguarding sensitive information, strengthening accountability, and ensuring compliance with the provisions of the NDPA.

At ZITDA, we remain committed to fulfilling our statutory mandate of coordinating and managing government data assets. We will continue to collaborate with relevant MDAs to ensure that government and personnel data are collected, processed, stored, and shared securely and in full compliance with the Nigeria Data Protection Act.

Through these efforts, we aim to strengthen data security, promote responsible data governance, and build greater public trust in the digital transformation of Zamfara State.
