The statement quoted Mr Aliyu as describing the 2024 budget implementation as a success story.
Mr Aliyu reiterated his administration’s determination to continue to execute people-oriented projects he had started.
”In the outgoing year, we succeeded in executing many developmental projects that had impacted positively on the lives of our people.
“We would in sha Allah sustain this invaluable gesture by delivering more dividends of democracy to the doorsteps of our people,” he vowed.
The governor further reaffirmed his administration’s support for the fight against banditry and other forms of criminality in the state.
He thanked the state lawmakers for the speedy passage of bills.
