He also commended the people of the state both at home and in the diaspora for their support and contributions to successive administrations.

“I specially commend you all for your resilience, support and cooperation in building our dear state.

“Your strong resilience has spurred this administration towards speedy building and recovery of the state after the decade-long Boko Haram insurgency."

Buni thanked Almighty Allah for the peace being enjoyed across the state, urging the people to continue praying for improved peace and security.
