Al-makura also implored the corps members to contribute to the state government’s effort at peace building.
He called on them to relate freely with members of their host communities and participate in the peace process initiated by the state government.
“The government strongly rejects out rightly the mischievous call for a state of emergency as being not only political but also unpatriotic,” the governor stated.
On the state of security in the state, Al-makura informed the corps members that all necessary machineries had been put in place to ensure the security of both the corps members and all law-abiding citizens of the state.
