Sokoto State Donates Vehicles for Superhighway Security
On October 10, 2026, the Minister of State for Works, Bello Muhammad Goronyo, commended Sokoto State Governor Dr. Ahmed Aliyu for donating 10 Toyota Hilux operational vehicles to the Nigerian Army. The vehicles were commissioned at the Headquarters, 8 Division, Sokoto, to strengthen security along the Sokoto-Badagry Superhighway corridor.
This initiative aims to enhance the operational capacity of security agencies tasked with protecting construction workers, equipment, and host communities. Goronyo emphasized that the donation reflects Sokoto State’s commitment to national development and aligns with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
The Sokoto-Badagry Superhighway, a 1,068-kilometre project, was flagged off for construction in October 2024 and is expected to facilitate movement, reduce transportation costs, boost trade, create jobs, and strengthen national integration. Goronyo also acknowledged the sacrifices of the Nigerian Army and other security agencies in safeguarding lives and infrastructure.
