I want to also specially congratulate the winners  of the various categories of the competition for demonstrating exemplary memorization and recitation skills. I urge you not to relent in your study and recitation of the Holy Quran.

As a member representing Ankpa I State Constituency, within the shortest time spent so far we have ensured that your voices are heard. This, we have achieved by moving series of people-oriented motions, bills, which of course, has received government attention. I have not relent in touching the people directly via youth empowerment programs, provision of basic/social amenities, education and social services and importantly establishing and managing a closer relationship with the people. We may not have gotten it all but we are making progress.
