The initiative, held in Bodinga, featured the distribution of motorcycles, water pumping machines, grinding machines, and assorted food items aimed at supporting residents and improving their livelihoods.
The event served as the official flag-off for beneficiaries drawn from several Local Government Areas, including Tambuwal, Kebbe, Shagari, Yabo, Tureta, Bodinga, and Dange Shuni. This large-scale empowerment programme is part of Senator Wamakko’s broader effort to strengthen grassroots development across Sokoto State.

He explained that the senator remains dedicated to enhancing the welfare of his constituents, noting that “this initiative reflects the senator’s consistent support for people at the grassroots level and his vision for an inclusive community.”
The Speaker of the Sokoto State House of Assembly, Hon.
