Governor Ahmad Aliyu's record through June 2026 reflects a mixed but creditable performance against an extraordinarily difficult security backdrop. On promises, his 9-Point Smart Agenda has been partially delivered: over 126 township roads constructed, education budget share exceeding the UNESCO 26 percent benchmark, the N70,000 minimum wage implemented, and gratuity backlogs cleared at N800 million per month -- all verified by multiple independent sources. On governance, the 2024 budget of N270 billion and 2025 appropriation of N526.8 billion were presented and passed, with capital expenditure at 66 percent; quarterly IGR grew from approximately N2.0 billion to N3.8 billion, reflecting measurable fiscal reform. On delivery, infrastructure outlays exceeded N40 billion on roads, N32 billion on a power plant, and N14.1 billion on water projects over two years, with the Yandaki-Shinkafi-Kofar Sauri road (N12.6 billion, 8.1 km) among assets commissioned. The severest constraint on his record is security: Lakurawa terrorists and armed bandits have killed dozens across Tangaza, Sabon Birni, Isa, and Rabah local government areas, with Senator Ibrahim Lamido (Sokoto East) publicly accusing the government of failing to protect communities before quitting the APC in April 2026. The state Community Guards Corps (2,596 personnel) and distribution of 140 patrol vehicles represent a direct but as-yet insufficient response to the crisis. On integrity, the governor inaugurated a judicial commission that reported alleged N117.235 billion financial irregularities under his predecessor, demonstrating a commitment to accountability; no criminal proceedings have been brought against him personally, and no EFCC or ICPC probe targeting him is on record. A political controversy over a N1.2 billion borehole-repair contract drew a call for investigation by an APC lawmaker, which the government defended; no agency has opened a formal probe.
