Kebbi State Governor, Nasir Idris, on Wednesday, distributed 26 vehicles among commissioners representing the 21 local government areas within the state.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria’s report, while handing over the vehicles, the governor highlighted the need to avoid any misuse.
Idris said, “We are making history again today because we are handing over 26 vehicles to commissioners to ease transportation challenges in their official engagements.
“They will also be useful for the commissioners to visit their localities to find out the challenges there.
“We have not given the vehicles to them for use as a luxury in the state capital, but to enable them to go back to their localities after their official engagements, interact with their people to know their problems.
“This government is peoples-oriented; we are not giving the vehicles to them to be sold. If any of them is found to have sold the vehicle or not using it for the purpose meant for, the person will be sacked.”
Alhaji Abubakar Garba-Dutsinmari, the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, representing his fellow commissioners, assured the governor that the vehicles would be used for their designated purposes.
Kanyi Daily recalls that Nasiru Idris had fired his Special Adviser on Youths, Babangida Sarki for posting pornography on his WhatsApp status.
