The Sokoto State Government has approved ₦1.759 billion for the purchase of 1,000 Bajaj motorcycles for distribution to security agencies as part of efforts to strengthen security operations and combat banditry across the state.
The approval was reached during the sixth regular meeting of the Sokoto State Executive Council for 2026, chaired by Deputy Governor Idris Muhammad Gobir.
According to the state government, the motorcycles will improve the mobility of security personnel, particularly in difficult terrains and communities affected by banditry. They will complement the 62 armoured vehicles recently procured by the state at a reported cost of ₦27 billion and distributed to security agencies.
The council also approved several projects covering education, healthcare, vocational training and water supply, including renovations at Government Technical College, Runjin Sambo, and equipment for 46 women’s vocational centres across the state’s 23 local government areas.
