Shettima launches N5.1bn worth palliatives, others in Sokoto

Vice President Kashim Shettima represented President Bola Tinubu on Monday at the opening ceremony for the distribution of palliatives worth N5.1 billion by the Sokoto State Government.

He disclosed this in a post made on his Facebook page on Monday, stating, “This laudable initiative by Governor Ahmed Aliyu is worthy of emulation by other state governments.”

The Vice President added that he “also commissioned the Rijiyar Doruwa flyover, constructed by the state government at the cost of N5.3 billion.”

Shettima went further to commend the effort of BUA Group, a cement production company based in the state, for donating ten patrol vehicles to security agencies, and called upon other private organisations in the state to support the security agencies.
