Yesterday marks another milestone in our unwavering commitment to the safety and well-being of the people of Sokoto State. At Dundaye in Wamakko LGA, we launched the distribution of 20 motorized boats and 2,000 life jackets to 10 flood-prone Local Government Areas of Sokoto State. This intervention is a fulfillment of our promise to protect lives, livelihoods, and strengthen disaster preparedness across our communities. Last year, 22 out of 23 LGAs in our state were devastated by flooding, leading to the loss of farmlands, livestock, homes, and many precious lives. These painful experiences reinforce our determination to take bold, preventive steps. Sokoto now stands as the second state after Lagos to deploy motorized boats for inland water transportation, a pioneering initiative in Northern Nigeria. I strongly caution all beneficiaries to use these boats responsibly. Overloading or misuse will not be tolerated. Local government chairmen are directed to ensure strict safety compliance and proper maintenance so that these assets serve our people for years to come. Our administration remains committed to turning past tragedies into lessons that shape a safer future. With God’s guidance and the collective support of our people, we will continue to build resilient communities and safeguard the lives of all citizens. -AAS
Governor Ahmad Aliyu commissioned the remodelled Malam Samaila Marina Jumuat Mosque in Marina — the 16th place of worship renovated under our administration’s effort to provide communities with decent, safe, and dignified spaces for spiritual growth. This initiative is part of our broader commitment to improving social welfare, strengthening institutions of faith, and fostering peace and harmony among our people. I am grateful to Distinguished Senator Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko, former Governor of Sokoto State and Senator representing Sokoto North, for honouring the event and for his steadfast support to community development. On behalf of the Government and people of Sokoto State, I extend sincere appreciation to our religious leaders and citizens for their continued prayers, guidance, and cooperation. Together, we remain committed to building a society rooted in faith, unity, and shared prosperity, where every citizen has the opportunity to thrive in peace. -AAS
