Kabiru Mai Palace, a member of the House of Rep, has renovated 80 cemeteries in Gusau and Tsafe local government areas of Zamfara state as a constituency project.
The lawmaker, who represents the Gusau/Tsafe federal constituency, said the initiative marked his second-year anniversary in office.
He noted that many cemeteries across communities in the area were in poor condition and needed urgent rehabilitation.
Speaking during the project inauguration on Tuesday, Mai Palace emphasized the significance of maintaining cemeteries, calling them the final resting place for all.
He said the project aligns with Islamic teachings, which encourage the proper upkeep of burial grounds to prevent calamities in society.
He also pledged to engage guards, pay workers’ allowances, and provide tools to support cemetery maintenance.
