Kano State Governor, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, has distributed 20 vehicles and 25 motorcycles to various Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) in a bid to boost service delivery and fast-track development in the state.
The governor, represented by his Chief of Staff, Dr. Sulaiman Wali Sani, handed over the vehicles to the heads of the MDAs at Government House, Kano, on Monday.
According to a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mustapha Muhammad, Governor Yusuf urged the beneficiaries to make judicious use of the vehicles.
