The bills are the law to establish the Zamfara State Urban and Rural Access Roads Authority (ZURARA), and another to establish the Zamfara State Roads Fund Board. Both are designed to strengthen the management, planning, rehabilitation, and maintenance of Class B, C, and D roads in the state.

They pledged their full support for the bills.After deliberations, Speaker Bilyaminu Ismail Moriki, who presided over the session, announced that the House had unanimously given the bills their first and second readings.
He later directed the Clerk, Alhaji Mahmud Aliyu, to give them third and final readings.
