In Sokoto, the state government has announced the creation of 6,990 direct jobs in less than two years, as the contest for the 2027 general election moves forward. Governor Ahmad Aliyu's administration has prioritized human capital development, focusing on employment as a central pillar of governance. The job creation includes 3,000 new civil servants, 2,440 community health workers, and 1,550 members of the Sokoto State Marshals Agency.
These appointments were made across all 23 Local Government Areas and were targeted at graduates with NCE, HND, and university degrees. The government also launched the Sokoto Community Guard Corps, which is equipped with operational vehicles and 710 motorcycles to tackle banditry in remote areas. The administration has challenged opposition parties to present their own records and performance metrics, rather than relying on unsubstantiated claims.
