“I want to commend the Executive Director of this Institute, Dr Daniel Asele, for the good works you are doing here. You are impacting positively on the lives of our people,” he said.
The lawmaker further commended Governor Abdullahi Sule for his efforts in developing the institute.
“I want to commend the governor for being supportive to this institute and urge him to do more for the overall development of the state,” Mr Abel said.
The committee chairman assured of their support and collaboration with the government to take the institute to the next level of development.
Earlier, the Executive Director of the Institute, Dr. Daniel Asele, while presenting its 2024 budget performance, appreciated the governor for his passion in skills development in the state.
