The Zamfara State Government is renovating the state police command with N1.4 billion.

The state government is also renovating the Gusau Central Police Station with N726.9 million.

The Secretary to the Zamfara State Government, Abubakar Mohammad Nakwada, revealed this while presenting 10 speed motorcycles to the Gusau Divisional Police Officer, Abubakar Sani Mohammad, recently.

The SSG, represented by the Permanent Secretary, Cabinet Affairs, Abubakar Mohammad Gusau, said the motorcycles are meant to aid police patrols, especially in the hard-to-reach areas of the city that cannot be easily accessed using operational vehicles.

He also announced that the state government would support the division in the routine fueling of the motorcycles for effective service delivery.

The gesture is part of the ongoing efforts of Governor Dauda Lawal’s administration towards fighting all forms of criminality across the state.

Receiving the vehicles on behalf of the Nigerian Police Force, the Divisional Officer, Mr Abubakar Mohammad, said the motorcycles will significantly boost their operational capacity to clamp down on criminal elements, who are taking advantage of the inaccessible areas to perpetrate crimes.

He further expressed gratitude to Governor Dauda Lawal for providing all that is required for all security formations across the state, reassuring that they have no excuse but to deliver results.

It is noteworthy that since 2025, the State Government has distributed over 140 operational vehicles to security agencies and is consistently providing logistical support to those agencies.
