By Umar Faruk, Birnin Kebbi

Birnin Kebbi, Dec 15, 2025 - The Nigeria Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) has thrown its weight behind President Bola Tinubu and Governor Nasir Idris of Kebbi State, endorsing them for a second term in office.

The endorsement was made at the Tinubu/Kaura endorsement programme organized by the NURTW in Birnin Kebbi on Monday, where Governor Idris revealed that his administration has fulfilled about 90 percent of the campaign promises made to the people during the 2023 electioneering period.

"We are proud of the NURTW because of the support it gave me during my political journey," Idris said. "When I was the President of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), there was cordial support and cooperation between NUT and NURTW on issues affecting national and members’ interests."

The governor highlighted the achievements of his administration, including aggressive infrastructural development aimed at making Birnin Kebbi comparable to other state capitals in the country.

"As a government, we have fulfilled about 90 per cent of our campaign promises," he said. "We recruited teachers, distributed farm inputs to farmers, and provided grains to cushion the effects of economic challenges faced by our people."

NURTW National President, Alhaji Najeem Usman-Yasin, commended the governor for his bold interventions in critical sectors, including the rescue and rehabilitation of rescued girls of the Comprehensive Government Girls Secondary School, Maga.

"We also commend you for the construction of the Central Motor Park, which has no rival, not only in the North-West but in the entire country," Usman-Yasin said.

Usman-Yasin assured the governor of the union's continued support and cooperation, urging him to sustain the tempo.

"We will continue to support you and President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections, by the grace of God," he added.

The union presented awards of excellence to Gov. Idris and President Tinubu in recognition of their performance in infrastructural development, particularly road construction, in the state and the country at large.
