Vice-President Kashim Shettima has urged state governors to prioritise human and capital development programmes to fast-track sustainable social and economic development in the country.
Shettima stated this at the inauguration of the remodelled Government House, Bauchi, constructed by the Bala Mohammed’s administration, noting that state governments remians vital to address challenges like healthcare, education and security.
According to him, the development indices in many Nigerian states lag behind the global standards, advocating promotion of right values across schools, institutions and government agencies, to lay a solid foundation for future progress.
The vice-president also commended the North-East state governors for their comradeship, sense of purpose, and commitment, and urged them to be more united to face the challenges of underdevelopment in the sub-region.
