Umar-Aliero told newsmen shortly after the exercise that the move would also encourage the beneficiaries to be more dedicated to their duties.

“So far, we have distributed more than 50 motorcycles in batches to the Government House domestic staff,” he said.
The commissioner stressed the need to encourage all categories of workers by taking care of some of their burdens, “which in this case was transportation.”
According to him, the gesture is part of Gov. Nasir Idris’ benevolence, directed towards giving all workers a sense of belonging.
“As far as work is concerned, the governor does not segregate, whether big or small and regardless of where you come from.
“He touches all categories of workers and does everything necessary to make everybody happy,” he said. (NAN)
