Also on his part, Dalhatu, said it was regrettable that socio-economic challenges facing the North continued to multiply.

He said, “As men of courage, we will do our best to put first the interest of the region in anything we intend to achieve that can also unite us with the rest part of the country so that by the end of our tenure we will have achievements to show for it.”
