Minister of State for Defence, Dr. Bello Muhammad Matawalle, has expressed gratitude to the Sokoto State Government for its unwavering support to the Armed Forces and other security agencies.

This commendation came during the handover of 10 operational vehicles to military forces in Sokoto.

Held at the Sokoto State Government House, the vehicles, consisting of 8 Buffalo trucks and 2 Toyota Hilux, were part of a broader collaboration between the state and the Federal Government to bolster security in the North-West region.

The latest donation follows Governor Ahmad Aliyu Sokoto’s earlier contribution of 100 operational vehicles aimed at strengthening the fight against banditry and insurgency.

In a statement from Ahmad Dan-Wudil, the Minister’s Personal Assistant on Media, Dr. Matawalle praised the Sokoto State Government, stating, “I commend the Sokoto State Government for its steadfast support to the Armed Forces and other security agencies.”

He stressed that the new vehicles would enhance the mobility and efficiency of security forces, allowing for quicker responses to threats.

“The security of our nation demands a collective effort at every level. The Sokoto State Government has consistently demonstrated its dedication to this cause,” Matawalle added.

Brigadier General I.A. Ajosin, General Officer Commanding (GOC) of the 8 Division, received the vehicles on behalf of the Chief of Defence Staff and expressed deep gratitude for the ongoing support to military operations in the region.

Following the handover, Dr. Matawalle received an operational briefing from the Air Component of Joint Operation Hadarin Daji, detailing recent successes in neutralizing key bandit leaders through coordinated air and ground strikes.

Commending the Air Component for their precision, Dr. Matawalle reiterated the Federal Government’s commitment to ensuring the continued success of the operation.

“Your achievements are a testament to your professionalism and dedication. Rest assured, the Federal Government will continue to provide all necessary support,” he concluded.
