Governor Nasir Idris has distributed 26 vehicles among Commissioners hailing from the 21 local government areas of the Kebbi state.
The distribution ceremony took place on Wednesday, where the governor emphasized the intended purpose of the vehicles, warning against their misuse.
Governor Idris stated, “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 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 anyone of them is found to have sold the vehicle or not using it for the purpose meant for, the person will be sacked,” he added.
Abubakar Garba-Dutsinmari, the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, spoke on behalf of his colleagues, assuring the governor that the vehicles would be used strictly for their designated purpose.
The commissioner acknowledged the significance of the vehicles in addressing transportation constraints faced by the commissioners, pledging their commitment to responsible use.
