The lawmaker also appreciated the fatherly role of Senator Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko, noting that his guidance has contributed immensely to the successes recorded by the Ahmed Aliyu-led administration in the state.

In his remarks, Governor Ahmed Aliyu expressed confidence that the newly constructed roads in Mabera would make the area more accessible, especially to commercial road users who had previously avoided it due to its dilapidated condition.

According to him, investing in access roads in Mabera will go a long way in easing the movement of goods and services, thereby improving the economic well-being of residents.

“This project is a clear testimony to our administration’s unwavering commitment to improving the economy and infrastructure to make the lives of our people more meaningful,” the governor stated.

“We will continue to deploy the entire machinery of government to support the dreams and aspirations of our people in the overall interest of our dear state,” he added.

Governor Aliyu urged the benefiting communities in Mabera to take ownership of the infrastructure by protecting it from any form of vandalism or destruction.

He further thanked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his economic reforms and tireless efforts to address the security challenges affecting parts of the country. The governor also commended the people of the state for their continued support and prayers for his administration.

In his goodwill message, the Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III, represented by the Magajin Rafin Sokoto, Alhaji Lirwanu Bello, commended Governor Ahmed Aliyu for the construction of the road network in Mabera as well as other ongoing projects across the state.

The Ward Head of Mabera, Alhaji Umar Bello, recalled the poor state of the area before the present administration’s intervention. He said residents previously had to park their vehicles far from their homes due to the deplorable condition of the roads.

“During the rainy season, the condition of this area became worse, causing motorcycle and tricycle riders to avoid the community entirely. This brought untold hardship to my people,” he said.

He therefore thanked Governor Ahmed Aliyu for rescuing the community by providing access roads, culverts, and solar-powered streetlights.

Also speaking, Sheikh Abubakar Mabera expressed gratitude to Governor Ahmed Aliyu for transforming and urbanizing the area, which he described as “previously unurbanized.”

During the commissioning ceremony, Governor Ahmed Aliyu was presented with two awards by the Mabera community in appreciation of the various development projects executed in the area.

Sokoto State Commissioner for Lands and Housing, Barrister Nasiru Aliyu Dantsoho, said the present administration has, since inception, constructed many township roads across the metropolis, adding that Mabera is one of the major beneficiaries of such dividends of democracy.

Dantsoho further revealed that several completed road projects are awaiting commissioning, while many more are ongoing.

Chairman of Sokoto South Local Government, Malam Yau Muhammad Danda, also thanked Governor Ahmed Aliyu for executing numerous people-oriented projects across the local government area.

Similarly, Senator Abdulaziz Yari Abubakar commissioned the remodeled Usman Bin Affan Jumu’at Mosque in the Gawon Nama area of Sokoto.

He commended the governor for giving the mosque a facelift, which he said would provide worshippers with greater comfort and convenience.

In his remarks, Sultan Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III commended Governor Ahmed Aliyu for embarking on the renovation of several Jumu’at mosques across the state and assured the Sultanate Council’s continued support for the administration.

The Chief Imam of the mosque, Sheikh Yahuza Shehu Tambuwal, later led worshippers in a two-raka’at Jumu’at prayer.

The information was contained in a press release issued by the Director-General, Media and Publicity, Government House, Sokoto, Abubakar Bawa.
