Since the establishment of this Institution in 2006, we have never witnessed a political regime in the State that constructed the whole complex within two years in office unless the present administration that came to rescue Zamfara State under His Excellency, the Executive Governor, Dr. Dauda Lawal.
Certainly, the present administration of His Excellency, the Executive Governor, Dr. Dauda Lawal deserved commendation for the construction of the following developmental projects in the Institution within two years in office:
Rejuvenation of the fence and College gate, Construction of Dr. Dauda Lawal Nursing Complex, rehabilitation of two blocks of Class Rooms with storey building, rehabilitation and Remodeling of Midwifery Class Rooms and offices, rehabilitation and Remodeling of Midwifery Demonstration Room, construction of five daily prayer Mosque in the Institution which has the capacity and possibility of being converted to Juma’at Mosque; and the provision of Higher powered Solar to all the above mentioned structure.

I wish to assure His Excellency that, all necessary mechanism has been provided by the Institution to ensure efficient and effective maintenance of all the properties put in place.
