Kebbi State Government has donated N100 million to the state Hisbah Committee, which was set up 20 years ago to promote moral values and tackle social ills in the society.
The donation was announced in Birnin Kebbi by Governor Atiku Bagudu during a fund rising for the committee as part of activities to mark its 20 years anniversary.
The Hisbah committee was hoping to raise N120 million for its services.
Bagudu said that the money was jointly contributed by the state government, House of Assembly and the 21 local government councils in the state.
The governor commended previous administrations for establishing and sustaining the Hisbah committee, and praised its leaders and members for their perseverance in the discharge of their duties.
The Secretary to the State Government, Alhaji Babale Umar-Yauri, whose office supervises the Hisbah committee, said that the committee had performed meritoriously in the last 20 years.
Earlier, the Acting Grand Khadi of the state, Muhammad Argungu, described the celebration of the achievements of hisbah in the 20 years of its existence, as a moment of pride.
