Labaran Magaji, the secretary to the Nasarawa State government (SSG), has urged members and residents to take full advantage of the ongoing All Progressives Congress (APC) e-registration exercise.

Mr Magaji, while receiving members of the Tiv Renewed Hope Grassroots Mobilisation Movement in Lafia on Tuesday, said this would enable Nasarawa to emerge as the leading state in the North-Central Zone.

The SSG said that Nasarawa has a large number of APC members and supporters, and the number of registered party members should reflect this strength.

“You are all Renewed Hope ambassadors. This task is not for me alone. We must educate our people on the importance of the APC e-registration exercise, which is very critical.

“I have taken time to speak on this e-registration because of its importance. Considering the achievements of President Bola Tinubu and the APC, nobody needs to be persuaded about what we have been able to accomplish,” he said.

The SSG commended Mr Tinubu and Governor Abdullahi Sule for what he described as the enthronement of good governance, which, according to him, had translated into massive infrastructural development and economic benefits for the people of the state.

“All these achievements are to the credit of Mr President, Bola Tinubu. If the funds had not been released, would these projects have been possible? We are also fortunate to have a steadfast governor.

“The state secretariat where we are seated today, the dualised Shendam Road, and the Lafia flyover and underpass were not in existence two years ago. This is a product of good governance, which flows from the top down,” Mr Magaji said.

He thanked the group for the visit and assured its members that they would be incorporated, alongside other support groups, into the president’s Renewed Hope Agenda when it is fully rolled out in the state.

“Regarding your request for mobility and other logistics, it is still too early to make any commitment because the structure of the Renewed Hope Agenda across the states is yet to be fully clarified,” he said.

Earlier, Solomon Chunky, the state chairman of the Tiv Renewed Hope Grassroots Mobilisation Movement, said the group visited the SSG to seek partnership, having observed the achievements of President Tinubu under the Renewed Hope Agenda and the industrialisation drive of Governor Sule.
