“To the bandits, I say abandon your course and reintegrate into the society or face the full wrath of the law. I urge our youth to shun drug abuse, time-wasting and criminality. We will work with relevant law enforcement agencies to provide social order and overall security of the state,” the governor said.

He said his administration would introduce the treasury single account to consolidate the state’s finances to strengthen accountability and close all loopholes in the state’s financial system.

He said he would also conduct a comprehensive staff audit to eliminate ghost workers and ensure public servants served the government judiciously.
