He further urged residents and traders to desist from indiscriminate erection of structures in markets and other commercial areas.
”The people of the state should stop blocking access roads for firemen in case of any unforeseen eventuality."
” This is in order to give access for the fire men to do their job during fire outbreaks to save lives and property.”

”Pensions and gratuities of the state pensioners are paid as at when due. And we have introduced various training for the serving workers."
“Motivation is the best way to have the support of the service, because if your staff are redundant, you will not get the best out of them."
