Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State
Nasarawa State Government has distributed 58 vehicles to political appointees in the state to facilitate effective discharge of their duties.
Gov. Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa handed over the vehicles to the beneficiaries at the Government House in Lafia on Wednesday.
Sule commended the beneficiaries for their patience, noting that some of them have been using their personal vehicles to carry out official functions.
“We have to commend you for your patience because when these responsibilities were given to you, they were supposed to be given to you along with these vehicles, so that you will be able to go along and carry out your responsibilities,” he said.
The governor, however, pleaded with the beneficiaries to make good use of the vehicles, as the state was barely coming out of financial challenge.
Responding on behalf of the beneficiaries, Prof. Allananah Otaki, Commissioner for Agriculture and Water Resources, expressed gratitude for the gesture, stressing that they were optimistic of working for the development of the state.
“We are very much aware that the state is in dire need of finance, money is not there. When it is not there, the little we have, we are managing.
“We are going to give you every support with the vehicles you have given us today, to make sure we achieve all that is desired to move the state forward,” Otaki said.
Earlier, Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Aliyu Ahmed, listed the beneficiaries to include 15 commissioners, the SSG and 15 Special Advisers.
Others are 11 Permanent Secretaries, Accountant General, Auditor General of Local Government as well as seven commissions. (NAN)
