Sanusi appealed to the state government to help the people to acquire skills‎ that would make them self-reliant.‎

In his remarks, acting governor of the state, Prof. Hafiz Abubakar, said that paying salary of workers was not a privilege but an ‎obligation, which the state had continued to meet.

He pointed out that the economic crunch had made it difficult for no fewer than 28 states out of the 36 in the country to pay workers’ salary.‎

Abubakar said that the state government was spending N62 million weekly for the feeding ‎of boarding school students across the state.‎

‎He called on the people to continue to pray for peace, unity and progress in the country.
