Governor Mohammed urged the beneficiar­ies to make judicious use of the items in order to maximise the benefits, saying that aside infrastruc­tural developmen­t in the state, one of the priorities of his administra­tion is to empower the lives of the citizens of the state through the acquisitio­n of skills.
