…Says security of lives, provision of infrastructural development paramount
Governor Abubakar Sani-Bello has felicitated with the citizens of the state on the 45th year anniversary of its creation from the defunct north western state, during General Murtala Ramat Muhammad regime.
In a statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Mary Noel-Berje made available to ASHENEWS on Wednesday, Sani Bello appreciated God for the excelling growth and development recorded in the last 45 years of its existence.
While noting that “the level of development in the state is not commensurate with its years of existence,” the governor explained that “a lot is being done to add value to the contributions of successive administrations towards building a virile state.”
On security challenges, Sani-Bello said his administration has “done a lot but will not relent until the issue of insecurity is addressed.
He stressed that his administration is more than ever, determined to halt the insecurity challenges in the areas.
“The people in the affected parts of the State have suffered enormously due to the continued attacks by the bandits ,but I am not going to be deterred by that, government will step up its plans to end the insecurity”, he added
The governor acknowledged the efforts of traditional rulers and urged them to improve on the existing harmonious, peaceful coexistence in their domains as well as fish out enemies of the state, who are serving as informants to the men of the underworld and advised them not to compromise in the discharge of their duties.
He called for collective efforts noting that the task of governance is a collective responsibility which must not be left to government alone while assuring that Government will continue to formulate policies and programmes that will impact positively on the lives of the citizens.
