“And continue to pray for the nation to overcome its security, economic, and other emerging challenges for the benefit of all,” he said.

The speaker appreciated his colleagues for their understanding, cooperation, and support.

He thanked the entire citizenry of the state for their show of solidarity, understanding, and support for the government of the day and assured them of better days ahead.

Mr Jatau also reminded citizens of the need to sustain peace and unity, free from religious, ethnic, political, or other differences.
