The governor said, “I am deeply impressed by the array of initiatives that Hon. Kabiru Amadu is implementing for the benefit of his constituents. This is commendable and deserves encouragement.

“While the state government works on projects to construct and renovate schools, hospitals, and roads, we need a welfare initiative to bolster our efforts. This is exactly what Hon. Mai Palace is doing.”

“Last month, I distributed over 100 motorcycles to selected individuals, particularly the youth, to ease their daily movement. In addition to the cars I am distributing today, I also provide tractors and other farming tools to farmers in the Gusau/Tsafe constituency as part of our effort to boost agriculture.”
