Sokoto State House of Assembly, has commended Governor Ahmed Aliyu for executing numerous developmental projects without taking a loan from any financial institution.
Deputy Speaker, Kabul Ibrahim kware, gave the commendation when he led members of the legislature on Sallah homage to the governor.
“There was never a time you approached us with a request for permission to borrow money from any financial institutions, whether at home or abroad,” he affirmed.
This, according to him, is worthy of commendation considering the myriad of people-oriented projects the governor is executing across the state.
Also commenting on behalf of the state’s judiciary, the Chief Judge, Muhammad Sa’idu Sifawa, hailed the governor for the construction of additional court rooms at the state high court.
He also expressed delight over the way and manner the Governor responds to issues affecting the judiciary, which he said, was a clear indication of the good working relationship existing between the three arms of government in the state.
Responding, Gov. Aliyu stressed the need for more synergy among the three tiers of government in the overall development of the state.
He reaffirmed the unwavering commitment of the executive arm to providing the direly needed dividends of democracy to the people of the state, in line with campaign promises. He urged the lawmakers to present all the needs of their constituencies for prompt and diligent implementation.
“I want to assure you that my doors are always open for you at any given time, to listen to the demands of your people.”
He reminded them about the need to put politics aside and work together with the executive arm for the progress and even development of the people they represent.
Turning to the members of the state judiciary, the governor tasked judges and khadis to ensure quick dispensation of justice to decongest the correctional centres.
“It is worrisome to see how inmates are languishing in correctional centres for minor offences in the name of awaiting trial.
We recently appointed seven additional judges and seven khadis, which is the first in the history of Sokoto State. The idea is to enhance the manpower in our judiciary so as to speed up the dispensation of justice.”
Governor Aliyu assured the members of the judiciary of his administration’s readiness to ensure their welfare at all times.
