Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa state has distributed 42 utility vehicles to security agencies in his effort to ensure a safe environment for all in the state.
Speaking at the handing over ceremony in Lafia, Wednesday, Governor Sule said although Nasarawa state is one of the safest states in Nigeria, there was need to take precautionary measures at sustaining the support of the government to security agencies.
Sule explained that security is one of the topmost priorities of his administration; which is why he has continued to distribute vehicles to them in addition to other logistics support.
The security agencies which benefited from the support include the Nigeria Police Force, Nigeria Army, Nigeria Airforce, Department of State Services, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, and Federal Road Safety Corps.
Others who also benefited were unconventional security outfits including hunters, and the Vigilante Group of Nigeria.
“In addition to the vehicles distributed today, the government since its inception had distributed 129 vehicles and motorcycles to security agencies and other bodies,” Sule added.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) Jama’atu Nasir Islam (JNI) and other Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) were also given vehicles to help their operations.
