A journalist recounts a recent visit to Zamfara State, 16 years after his last trip, as part of a media chat with Governor Dauda Lawal to mark the state's 30th anniversary. Despite expecting to see a state overwhelmed by insecurity, the writer found some of his assumptions challenged, particularly by the quality of infrastructure at the airport, including the runway, lounges, and control tower. However, the article acknowledges that the security crisis, including attacks, mass kidnappings, and displacement, continues to affect parts of the state.
