Workers in Kaduna State have lauded the state Governor, Senator Uba Sani for supporting the distribution of subsidized motorcycles to civil servants, particularly those working in hard-to-reach areas.

The initiative, facilitated by the Kaduna State Government in collaboration with the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and Moure Consult, aims to ease transportation difficulties for workers, including teachers and healthcare personnel.

Comrade Hashidu Suleiman, Chief of Staff to the NLC Chairman, explained that the initiative stemmed from discussions between the state NLC chairman and the governor.

“Everything is going as planned. When the state chairman met the governor, he raised concerns about the high cost of transportation affecting workers. The governor was very clear—teachers and health workers in hard-to-reach areas should be prioritized,” he said.

He appealed to the government to further subsidize the motorcycles so more workers could benefit.

Explaining the process, Muhammad Yahyah, Head of Operations at Moure Consult Nigeria Limited, said the distribution was seamless and well-structured.

“We are the intermediary between the Kaduna State Government and the NLC, overseeing the distribution of both electric and fuel-powered motorcycles to civil servants,” he said.

He added that applicants were required to obtain and submit forms through the NLC before verification and capturing in the database.

“To safeguard beneficiaries’ interests, our partner, Optimus Bank, oversees the registration and account opening process,” he said.

On the economic benefits, he noted that the motorcycles—Harjung, Jingcheng, and electric models—were cost-effective and would boost productivity while easing transportation challenges for workers.
