The leader of the delegation, Abdullahi Ibrahim, said the title was in recognition of Governor Buni’s efforts in the promotion of peace and peaceful coexistence among Nigeria and Niger communities.

“We found it necessary to recognise you with this title in view of the peaceful coexistence and infrastructural development in the border communities which are also enjoyed by communities in Niger Republic.

“Your strides in healthcare delivery, road network, and economic development to your people are being enjoyed by our communities in Niger Republic,” he said.
