By Abraham Ovuoba
Governor Francis Nwifuru of Ebonyi State has donated 31 brand new Toyota Hilux vans to security agencies in the state as part of activities marking the 2026 Democracy Day celebration in Nigeria.
The vehicles were presented on Friday at the Governor’s Office, Abakaliki, after a guard of honour mounted by the Police.
Beneficiaries include the Nigerian Army, Police, NSCDC, Customs, Immigration, FRSC, Correctional Service and the DSS, with allocations based on operational needs.
Speaking during the presentation, Governor Nwifuru said security remains a priority of his administration and commended security personnel for their commitment to protecting lives and property in the state.
He also praised traditional rulers, community leaders and youths for supporting security agencies through intelligence sharing, which he said has helped sustain peace in Ebonyi.
The Governor urged the agencies to make effective use of the vehicles and remain professional and vigilant, especially as preparations for the 2027 general elections gather pace.
The donation reflects Governor Nwifuru’s administration’s core mantra of placing a premium on the security of lives and property. The initiative also underscores his commitment to strengthening the state’s security architecture and sustaining the peaceful environment necessary for development and economic growth in Ebonyi State.
