Babatunji Wusu –
Members of the State House of Assembly received sport utility vehicles (SUVs) from Kebbi State Governor Nasir Idris in an effort to improve legislative operations.
Governor Idris said on Wednesday that the state House of Assembly members received 24 First Class Toyota Jeeps.
The governor’s decision was made in response to calls from Nigerians for government employees to cut back on their spending.
Idris stated that this should be interpreted as “a symbol of our commitment to serving the people of Kebbi State diligently” in a social media post announcing it.
“I am honored to fulfill my promise by distributing 24 First Class Toyota Jeeps to the dedicated members of the Kebbi State House of Assembly for their official engagements.
“Today, at the Government House in Birnin Kebbi, I personally presented these vehicles, expressing gratitude for the Assembly’s cooperation and understanding. The harmonious working relationship between the Executive Arm and the Assembly has been paramount. In the spirit of collaboration, I joined the Speaker of the Assembly, Rt. Hon. Usman Muhammad Ankwe, in a test drive of the Jeep allocated to him.”
