Upon assuming office on May 29, 2023, Governor @Ahmedaliyuskt of Sokoto State made security his top priority in a 9-point agenda for his administration. In just over a year, his decisive actions have yielded remarkable results, positioning him as a leading figure in tackling banditry and insecurity in the region.

2.Clearing Inherited Debts: He inherited a security allowance debt of N974 million from the previous administration. Within months, he did not only cleared the debt but also increased the security forces’ monthly allowances by 200%, motivating them to continue their fight against banditry.

5.Logistical Support: In his first 100 days, Governor Aliyu donated 70 patrol Hilux vehicles and 320 motorcycles to the Joint Task Force (JTF) operating in Sokoto East, boosting mobility and operational efficiency.
6.Real-Time Security Monitoring: He established a security operations center within his office to monitor real-time security operations in the forests, providing direct oversight and encouragement to the forces.

GOD WILL NOT FORGIVE TAMBUWAL AND DASUKI FOR THIS ;
This is the shocking revelation from the Sokoto State Accountant General during Tambuwal’s administration, as he detailed to current Governor Ahmed Aliyu and the people of Sokoto how the former governor left a staggering debt of N14.8 billion in unpaid pension gratuities between 2015 and 2023.
The debt affects 4,911 pensioners, of which 926 have sadly passed away while waiting nearly 8 years for their entitlements. Out of the N14.8 billion, N2.9 billion was owed to the deceased pensioners, while N11.6 billion is for 3,183 living pensioners. An additional N148 million is owed to 197 pensioners still working on a contract basis.
Gov. Ahmed Aliyu, known for his compassion and commitment to his people, has pledged N500 million every month to pay off the backlog of gratuities for civil servants who retired between 2015 and 2023 under Tambuwal’s administration. Sadly, 926 of these retirees passed away while waiting for their payments, woefully failed by a leader who claimed to have their mandate and promised to take care of their welfare.
Heartbreakingly, those 926 pensioners who died without receiving their rightful payments are now resting in peace, as Governor Ahmed Aliyu has stepped in to pay their families what they were owed. It is a tragic scenario that leaves one wondering how former Governor Tambuwal will account for this in front of God, with 926 souls gone without their dues, 370 pensioners in a coma, 176 in ICU clinging to life, 96 driven mad with despair, and over 400 gathered at the Masjid every Friday praying for divine justice.
Thankfully, Governor Ahmed Aliyu has already taken significant steps to address this injustice. Out of the N14.8 billion debt, he has settled N6 billion—starting with N500 million in May, N2 billion in June and July, another N500 million in August, and N1 billion in September. His efforts bring hope to the suffering pensioners and their families, as they finally receive the payments they were long denied.
GOOD NEWS FOR NURSES AND MIDWIVES IN SOKOTO:
At the moment, I don’t think that there is any state in this country that has employed 845 nurses and midwives in one year for its primary health care centers.
But, the Sokoto State Government under the leadership of Governor Dr. @Ahmedaliyuskt expands healthcare access with recruitment of 845 nurses and midwives
In a groundbreaking move to improve healthcare delivery in Sokoto State, Governor Ahmad Aliyu’s administration has recruited 845 nurses and midwives to bridge the gap in medical personnel across primary healthcare centers. This recruitment marks a significant step towards addressing the healthcare challenges faced by the state, particularly in maternal and infant care.
The new healthcare workers will be deployed to underserved areas, ensuring that residents in both urban and rural communities have access to essential medical services.
Governor Aliyu has prioritized the expansion of healthcare infrastructure and services to reduce maternal and infant mortality rates and address critical health issues such as vesicovaginal fistula (VVF).
The administration’s focus on women’s health is evident in its plan to construct additional healthcare centers, including specialized hospitals for VVF treatment. These efforts are part of a broader strategy to improve the overall quality of life for Sokoto’s residents by providing comprehensive healthcare services that are accessible to all.
The state government’s commitment to healthcare extends beyond recruitment. Plans are also underway to absorb medical doctors graduating from institutions within the state, further expanding the healthcare workforce. This comprehensive approach to healthcare reform reflects Governor Aliyu’s dedication to building a strong healthcare system that meets the needs of every citizen, ensuring that Sokoto remains the best in public health innovation.
