existence.
Governor Sani Bello who noted that the level of development in the
state was not commensurate with its years of existence, explained that a lot was being done to add value to the contributions of successive administrations towards building a virile state.
On the security challenges, Governor Sani Bello said his administration has done a lot but “will not relent until the issue of insecurity is addressed” stressing that his administration was more than ever, determined to halt the insecurity challenges in the state.
According to him ” 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.”
