Kwara Govt Donates 150 Motorcycles to Nigerian Army

•LGAs acquire 320 motorcycles to boost vigilantes’ security operations

In a bid to further strengthen security operations and maintain peace across Kwara State, Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has donated 150 off-road motorcycles to the Nigerian Army.

The Senior Special Assistant New Media to the Governor, Yinka Fafoluyi in a statement issued on Saturday said the motorcycles will enhance mobility and effectiveness of Soldiers in rugged terrains such as forests where criminals are hiding with intent to destabilise the peaceful atmosphere of the state.

According to him, this strategic intervention follows recent reports of the disturbances in parts of Kwara South and Kwara North.

In response, on Monday, April 21, 2025, Governor AbdulRazaq led a high-powered joint security delegation on an operational assessment tour to the Kaiama Local Government Area in Kwara North.

Within 24 hours of the tour, the Governor also held a strategic meeting with the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Olufemi Olatubosun Oluyede, in his office at Ahmadu Bello House, Ilorin, who assured him of the Army’s readiness to collaborate with other security agencies to restore peace in the affected areas.

Governor AbdulRazaq has consistently supported the security agencies across the state. A few months ago, his administration donated vehicles and motorcycles to the 22 Armoured Brigade of the Nigerian Army.

Meanwhile, in a complementary move, local government authorities across the state have also acquired 320 motorcycles for strategic deployment of vigilante operatives, further consolidating Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq’s commitment to a peaceful and secure Kwara State.
