Sokoto seeks partnership with National Institute alumni

Governor Ahmed Aliyu has indicated readiness to partner with the Sokoto chapter of the Alumni Association of the National Institute for the development of the state.

He gave the hint when he received members of the association, who were on a courtesy visit.

The governor expressed confidence that each member of the body had a peculiar contribution to make on account of their different disciplines and professions.

“Let me use this medium to remind you that the state government had made a huge investment in sponsoring you to attend this prestigious institute, therefore, the state expects much from your vast experience,” he added.

Aliyu said his administration had donated two vehicles for use by the institute’s Muslim community, an indication of the concern and regard the state has for it.

He assured the association that his doors were ever open to them to discuss issues bordering on the development of the state.

Earlier, the chairman of the state AANI chapter, Shehu Usman Ladan, commended the governor for the various developmental programmes being executed across Sokoto.

He also thanked him for appointing some of their members to key positions.
