Mr Abu appealed for understanding from the people, disclosing that the governor has since assumption of office as governor governed the state with sincerity of purpose, without bias and malice, but with the fear of God.

Mr Abu said following the paucity of funds, occasioned by drastic reduction in allocation to states in the federation, the governor has influenced the signing of over eighteen memoranda of understanding with reputable national and international organization, assured that very soon, the benefits of those MoU signing would begin to yield dividends to the State.
