On Saturday, Senator Barau Jubrin, the deputy president of the Senate, gave 1,000 operational motorcycles to Nigerian police officers and men who work in the Kano North Senatorial District.
The presentation took place at the police command headquarters, Bompai.

Commissioner of Police Salman Dogo thanked Barau for the intervention.
“The provision of these motorcycles symbolises more than just a mode of transportation; it represents a tangible investment in the capabilities and morale of our dedicated police officers, enhancing their operational efficiency and response readiness.
“The significance of this initiative extends far beyond the motorcycles themselves; it speaks volumes to the profound impact that strategic partnerships and community support can have on the effectiveness and vitality of our law enforcement efforts.
“The Deputy Senate President’s commitment to our police force and the broader community exemplifies a shared vision of public safety and security.
“His generosity not only reinforces the vital role that collaboration plays in achieving our common goals but also serves as a testament to his dedication to the well-being of our officers and the residents we are sworn to protect.
“As we embrace this new chapter of enhanced mobility and operational capacity, I urge my fellow police officers to embrace these motorcycles as tools of service excellence,” the police commissioner said.
