The initiative went beyond routine repairs to include panel beating, painting, and the replacement of vital components such as tyres, fuel pumps, power steering systems, brake systems, engine parts, transmissions, suspension assemblies, electrical wiring, radiators, and batteries.
Comptroller Mahmoud praised Governor Radda’s intervention, noting that the support reflects the administration’s unwavering commitment to enhancing the capacity of security agencies across the state. He emphasized that the refurbished vehicles will significantly improve the mobility and responsiveness of immigration officers tasked with securing Nigeria’s northern borders.
“This strategic intervention by Governor Radda is a testament to the state government’s dedication to supporting security institutions with the tools necessary for effective service delivery and national security,” said Mahmoud.
The improved fleet is expected to enhance patrol operations, surveillance, and the overall efficiency of the Command in addressing cross-border crimes and migration-related challenges in the state.
