Investing for the future of Sokoto: As the administration of Sokoto State under the leadership of His Excellency, Dr. Ahmed Aliyu Sokoto is now presumably devoid of any distraction sequel to the conclusion of election litigation in his favour at the nation’s apex court, I am not oblivious of the fact that His Excellency, Dr. Ahmed Aliyu Sokoto is now in a stable frame of mind to face the business of governance before him.
