From Shafa’atu Suleiman, Sokoto
The former Military Administrator of Sokoto State, Navy Captain Abdulrasheed Adisa Raji (retd), has praised Governor Ahmed Aliyu for what he described as a record of impactful governance and visible transformation across the state.
Raji gave the commendation while receiving a souvenir from the governor after commissioning a newly completed 14-kilometre rural road project in Gwadabawa Local Government Area of the state.
He said that Governor Aliyu had justified the confidence reposed in him by the electorate, noting that Sokoto State is witnessing remarkable progress under his administration.
“You have moved Sokoto from step four to step eight. I’m sure very soon it will reach step ten,” Raji remarked, expressing delight with the pace of infrastructure development in both rural and urban centres.
