The State which was carved out of the defunct Sokoto State on the 27th of August, 1991, has undergone transformation from military era to current civilian dispensation.

The State government under the compassionate leadership of the veteran labour leader, the professional teacher, Comrade, Dr. Nasir Idris, Kauran Gwandu, has performed remarkably well especially on infrastructural, educational, agricultural and economic development of the State.
In the pursuance of food security, the administration has procured and distributed fertiliser of more than two billion naira free to farmers which is unprecedented in the history of Kebbi State.
Furthermore, Governor Nasir Idris has awarded contract of more than nine billion naira for the massive rehabilitation of city roads in the State capital Birnin Kebbi to accord the deserved status to the city as a State capital.
