He said, “With the support of Mr. President, I can assure you that we will not take our foot off the pedal.”
The Governor further assured the public that his administration would continue to make it harder for criminal activities to thrive within the state’s borders.
He said, “Our goal is to reassure our people and instill confidence in Nigerians, especially those who are considering investing in Plateau.”
“I want to tell them that the climate is right, the environment is conducive, and I believe that 2025 will be an even better year.”
