The Sokoto State House of Assembly has commended the State Governor, Ahmed Aliyu for his developmental strides without borrowing.
The Deputy Speaker of the House of Assembly, Kabir Ibrahim Kware gave the thumbs up when he led members of the legislature on Sallah homage to Gov. Aliyu.
“There was never a time you approached us with a request for permission to borrow money from any financial institutions, whether at home or abroad,” he said.
This, according to him, is worthy of commendation considering the several people-oriented projects the Governor is executing across the State.
Also commenting on behalf of the State’s Judiciary, the Sokoto State Chief Judge, Justice Muhammad Sa’idu Sifawa, commended the Governor for the construction of additional courtrooms at the State High Court.
He expressed delight at the response of Governor Aliyu to issues affecting the Judiciary, which he said, was a clear indication of the good working relationship between the three arms of government in the State.
Responding, Gov. Ahmed Aliyu stressed the need for more synergy among the three arms of government in the overall development of the State.
He affirmed the unwavering commitment of the Executive arm of government to providing the needed dividends of democracy to the people of the State, in line with his campaign promises.
Gov. Aliyu urged the lawmakers to present all the needs of their constituencies for prompt and diligent implementation.
He reminded them of the need to put politics aside, and work together with the executive arm for the progress and even development of the people they represent.
The Governor tasked Judges and Khadis to ensure the quick dispensation of justice, so as to decongest the correctional centres.
“It is worrisome to see how inmates are languishing in correctional centres for minor offences in the name of awaiting trial.”
He said the recent appointment of 7 additional Judges and 7 Khadis was to ensure the quick dispensation of justice.
Gov. Aliyu assured members of the Judiciary of his administration’s readiness to provide for their welfare at all times.
