“There are challenges, yes but I believe that challenges will make us a better people. But let’s accept our challenges. Lets work towards addressing them. Never look back. We must not allow anybody to defeat us,” he maintained
The Sultan assured that traditional rulers would do everything possible to make sure there is peace and stability in the country.
He, however, appealed for continuous support to security operatives whom he said have been laying their lives for the country.

“So, we are here to seek for your prayer and fatherly advise on how to improve our services,” he said
The Minister also visited Governor Ahmed Aliyu, where he reiterated their commitment to end security challenges in the country.
He commended the state government for their sustained support to security operatives.
“We are aware of your passion and dedication and trying to support us to bring peace in Nigeria.”
