The Kebbi State Government has approved the creation of a new district, Sarandosa, in Maiyama Local Government Area as part of its ongoing efforts to strengthen administrative efficiency and traditional leadership structures across the state.
The development was announced in a statement on Wednesday by the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Alhaji Garba Dutsinmari.
According to the statement, Sarandosa District with its headquarters in Sarandosa town was carved out of the existing Maiyama District (Sarkin Kudun Maiyama). The new district comprises five village areas: Gubba, Sarandosa, Acikaratu Ubandawaki, Acikaratun Dodo, and Tsalibi.
Dutsinmari explained that the creation of the new district became necessary due to the area’s growing population and increased administrative needs, which called for decentralization to enhance governance and traditional oversight.
The government also announced the appointment of Dr. Faruk Maiyama as the first District Head of Sarandosa, to hold the traditional title of Sarkin Gabas Sarandosa.
In a related development, Haliru Maiyama was named the new District Head of the restructured Maiyama District and will retain the title of Sarkin Kudun Maiyama.
Following the restructuring, the remaining Maiyama District now consists of seven village areas: Dangaladıman Maiyama, Yarıman Maiyama, Giwatazo, Kurya, Rafintofa, Zara Birni, and Idiga.
The statement reiterated the government’s commitment to promoting grassroots development and strengthening traditional institutions for inclusive governance.
