Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal, won the Daily Times’ Outstanding Governor Award from the North–West at its centenary anniversary held in Abuja.
The governor received the award today at the DTN@100 Times Heroes Awards, organised by Nigeria’s oldest newspaper, to mark its 100th anniversary.
Governor Lawal was honoured based on his “leadership, public service and contribution to national development.”
The award was part of activities marking the centenary of the newspaper, which began publication in 1926 and has chronicled Nigeria’s political, economic, social and cultural development over the past century.
Chairman of the DTN@100 Heroes Awards Council, Bolaji Okusaga, said Governor Lawal was selected because he received the highest nominations in the North-West.
