SOKEZA Chairman, Alhaji Usman Maude, said progress at home resonates with Kebbi indigenes living in Borno, noting improved security support, infrastructure, and social programmes. He urged residents to ignore “deliberate misinformation” and back ongoing reforms that benefit communities across Kebbi.
“We are happy with the Governor’s efforts on security—logistics for security forces, mobilising credible intelligence, and supporting vigilantes and hunters—alongside roads, schools, hospitals, empowerment, and palliatives.”
Security, infrastructure and welfare listed among gains
- Security: Government assistance to agencies on logistics and welfare; citizen mobilisation for intelligence; backing for vigilantes and hunters.
- Infrastructure: Ongoing roads, schools and health projects across communities.
- Social support: Empowerment programmes, palliatives, grains and fertilisers to households and farmers.

Commissioner Yakubu Ahmed BK thanked the delegation and encouraged SOKEZA members to remain law-abiding, industrious, and supportive of governments at all levels. He reaffirmed the administration’s commitment to sustained development in Kebbi and appealed for continued support of Prof. Babagana Umara Zulum’s government in Borno.
