The spotlight shines on Zamfara State as its lawmakers prepare to make history at the 2025 Papyrus Magazine State Houses of Assembly Awards (PAMSHAA). Organisers have officially unveiled the recipients, and Zamfara’s delegation stands tall with multiple categories dominated by its vibrant legislators.
Now in its third edition, PAMSHAA has grown into the country’s most prestigious recognition platform for State Assemblies, celebrating lawmakers who have redefined excellence in legislation, community engagement, and service delivery. The highly anticipated ceremony will hold on Saturday, 30th August 2025, in Abuja-N igeria.
For Zamfara, the moment is nothing short of historic as the Speaker Rt. Hon. Bilyaminu Isma’il Moriki clinched The Masses’ Most Loved House Member, after receiving overwhelming endorsement from the Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria (PASAN), Zamfara Branch while the Deputy Speaker Hon. Adamu Aliyu emerged as the Best Performing Member with the Highest Most Impactful Motions, spotlighting his people-oriented motions that resonate across communities.
The Majority Leader Hon. Bello Muhammed Muzawaje commands attention with multiple Awards penned to his name — Most Compassionate Lawmaker, Best Member with Private Member Bill Sponsored, and Most Outstanding Grassroots Legislator of the Year.
Hon. Yakubu Almajir secured a place as Best Performing Member in Constituency Outreach, winning praise for his robust grassroots representation, Chief Whip Hon. Rilwanu Marafa is capped with the Most Vocal/Eloquent Member on the Floor of the House, while Hon. Nura Dahiru, Chairman of the House Committee on Public Accounts, is recognised as Best Performing House Standing Committee Chairman.
Adding to the glory, the House Standing Committee on Lands, Housing and Town Planning will take home the Most Effective/Productive House Standing Committee for its impactful oversight and reforms in land administration and urban development in Zamfara State.
Although Speaker Moriki will not compete directly with fellow members in these categories, he will take on an even bigger stage by contesting the Best Performing Speaker in the North East Zone — a race still underway.
