Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal has thrown his weight behind the Nigerian Army by pledging that his administration will provide critical infrastructure that will assist men of the army to carry out their mandate effectively.
In a statement signed by the State’s Senior Adviser on Media and Public Affairs, Mallam Imam D. Imam on Sunday, Tambuwal made the promise on Saturday in Sokoto when he visited the Command Headquarters of 1 Brigade, Nigerian Army, Sokoto.
The governor said, the state government would continue to accord the welfare and wellbeing of men and officers of all security agencies in the state top priority.
“Tambuwal said that Sokoto State had benefited immensely from the activities of the Brigade Command in various ways. The state government and the army authorities will soon sign a Memorandum Of Understanding to expand the activities of the command’s skills acquisition centre to include youths and women from all parts of the state.’’
The statement also stated that, the governor assured the completion of the ongoing water project in barracks and provides accommodation for the youth corps members to make their stay in the state comfortable.
About a week ago, the governor blocked a multi-million naira fraud that has been going on in the state for years when he ordered the immediate stoppage of illegal deductions amounting to N360 million monthly, from salaries of the 23 local government workers.
