BIRNIN KEBBI — In a move aimed at boosting security and promoting public health, the Kebbi State Commissioner for Information and Culture, Yakubu Ahmed, has donated solar-powered street lights and anti-mosquito chemical spray to residents of Rafin Atiku Ta Gabas in Birnin Kebbi.
The initiative, flagged off on Saturday, is expected to improve visibility on major streets, deter criminal activities and create a healthier environment by reducing mosquito infestation in the community.
Speaking during the ceremony, the Village Head of Rafin Atiku Ta Gabas, Hamza Ahmed, said the intervention was informed by the need to address security concerns and improve environmental health in the area.
He described the commissioner’s gesture as a demonstration of his commitment to the welfare of his people and urged residents to protect the street lights from vandalism while maintaining proper sanitation to sustain a mosquito-free environment.
