The signing ceremony took place on Tuesday at the Council Chamber of the Government House in Dutse, during the weekly State Executive Council meeting. The development follows the passage of the bill by the Jigawa State House of Assembly after over eight months of legislative and administrative processes.
With this new law, the Hisbah Board now has legal backing to operate across all parts of the state, focusing on the promotion of moral values, social justice, and overall community well-being.
Governor Namadi hailed the move as a significant milestone, saying it reinforces his administration’s commitment to strengthening institutions that promote ethical conduct and social stability.
He urged Hisbah personnel to carry out their responsibilities with integrity and fairness to ensure their activities contribute meaningfully to society.
