I wish him many more prosperous years and Almighty God’s continued guidance and blessings.”

and the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari as he continues to give his best to the success of the Government
and the upliftment of Nigerians.
He said “as Northern Governors, we have enjoyed tremendous cooperation of the Vice President who does not only give us a listening ear at individual
and collective levels but also engages us on how best to tackle the challenges of our region and the nation as a whole.
Among other things, we cherish his leadership of the National Livestock Transformation Programme (NLTP)
