“I particularly sympathize with your Governor, Bello Matawalle and his cabinet who have put everything in place to make the visit a successful one”.

” I have directed our security agencies to sustain the onslaught against terrorists, restrict cross-boundary infiltration and all unauthorised access to the goldmines in the state”.
