He reassured residents that his administration would continue to work closely with the state legislature and other stakeholders to achieve these goals.

Ibrahim Layode, the state’s Commissioner for Home Affairs, echoed the governor’s sentiments, urging residents to approach their “harvest of thanksgiving” with diligence and a positive mindset.
