26 February 2026
A Historic Milestone for Digital Transformation in Zamfara State.
Today marks a truly significant moment for the future of technology and innovation in Zamfara State.
His Excellency, Dauda Lawal has officially signed into law the establishment of the Zamfara Institute of Information Technology, Gusau (ZIIT). This landmark legislation formally creates the legal and operational framework for an institute that will serve as a breeding ground for the next generation of technology professionals.
The establishment of ZIIT is more than the creation of a new institution—it is a bold statement of intent. It reflects the commitment of the Zamfara State Government to build a knowledge-driven economy, empower young people with cutting-edge digital skills, and position the state as a technology and innovation hub in Northern Nigeria.
With ZIIT, Zamfara will now play a pivotal role in developing highly skilled professionals in software development, cybersecurity, data science, artificial intelligence, and emerging technologies. The institute will serve not only Zamfara State, but the entire Northwest region and Northern Nigeria at large.
This milestone reinforces our collective vision of leveraging technology to drive economic growth, innovation, and inclusive development.
We congratulate His Excellency for this visionary leadership and commend all stakeholders who worked tirelessly to make this dream a reality.
The future is digital, and Zamfara is ready
