Speaking to journalists after the meeting, the Secretary to the State Government (SSG) Alhaji Aminu Hammayo, explained that the engagement formed part of ongoing consultations with traditional leaders, particularly in view of the recent creation of additional emirates in the state.
According to Hammayo, the Governor emphasised the need for sustained synergy between the government and traditional rulers to ensure smooth integration and effective governance at all levels.
"It was a fruitful discussion that reaffirmed the administration's commitment to preserving the dignity and relevance of our royal fathers," Hammayo stated.
