The Governor who commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his exemplary leadership of the country, assured that his administration is committed to providing enabling environment for everyone in the state to aspire to the highest possible attainment of success in line with his administration’s agenda for consolidation and continuity which he noted is tied to the Renewed Hope Agenda of the President.

“As a people, we have demonstrated resilience and strength of character against the odds of prevailing economic challenges and insecurity.

“We have proven that we have what it takes to defeat temptations of the flesh just like our social and economic challenges. That is the true spirit of Ramadan which has to endure beyond Ramadan.
