Declared a state of emergency on education on assuming office, promising to rebuild Sokoto's school system.

Set up a special committee headed by the Sultan of Sokoto to oversee education-tax funds, and almost all schools across the state's 23 local government areas received new two-storey buildings as a result.

Promised an extensive road-building programme across Sokoto's local government areas.

Roads were executed across councils including Tambuwal, Kware, Rabah, Gada and Wamakko, but the administration's much-publicised road-dualisation project remained incomplete at the end of the tenure despite significant claimed spending.

Promised to complete stalled projects left by the outgoing Wamakko administration.

Completed the School of Legal Studies in Wamakko (inherited at roughly 50%), the Sokoto Conference Centre (from foundation stage), the College of Agriculture and Animal Science, Wurno, and the Assare Water Works, alongside over 30 inherited road projects.

Promised to reposition Sokoto's weak internally generated revenue base.

IGR rose from ₦6.22 billion in 2015 to ₦23.76 billion in 2021, a 282% increase, according to figures Tambuwal himself later cited.

Promised regular payment of salaries, pensions and gratuities to state workers.

The administration left over ₦14 billion in gratuities and retirement benefits owed to retired civil servants accumulated between 2015 and 2023, according to figures reported at the end of the tenure.
