Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal has distributed 300 vehicles and 2,000 motorcycles to various Zamfara groups and individuals saying that the empowerment means giving people and grassroots organisations practical tools to become self-reliant, restore dignity, and deliver democracy’s dividends, not rhetoric.

The governor on Thursday distributed the vehicles and motorcycles to groups and individuals at a ceremony held at the Trade Fair Complex in Gusau.

The empowerment programme recognises the immense contributions of groups and individuals to the State’s overall development.

The distribution of 300 vehicles and 2,000 motorcycles is part of a state government empowerment programme aimed at engaging people and groups in productive activities and boosting the local economy.

In his remarks, Governor Lawal said the event marks another milestone in his rescue agenda to reward dedicated people and groups contributing to Zamfara State’s socio-economic and political development.

He said, “It gives me great pleasure to be here for the official distribution of vehicles to various carefully selected individuals and political groups across Zamfara State. This gathering is particularly important because it offers me a unique opportunity to distribute these vehicles formally.

“Let me emphasise here that empowerment goes beyond rhetoric – it requires providing our people and grassroots organisations with the practical tools needed to be self-reliant, restore dignity, and deliver the real dividends of democracy. We remain fully committed to supporting our people in rebuilding and revitalising Zamfara to make it a more prosperous State.

“I therefore call on you as beneficiaries of the gesture to remain firm and committed to championing our drive to rescue the good people of Zamfara State. Your strategic role in partnering with the current administration remains vital.

“As you are officially presented with your vehicles, which will be performed shortly, I urge you to utilise them efficiently. This gesture is designed to facilitate mobility across the State and improve the local economy.

“The present administration remains fully committed to sustaining its drive for infrastructure development, revamping our economy and restoring peace and stability in our dear State.”
