state, saying they have remained worthy partners and active participants, in
the effort of the government to impact the people and improve their living
standard meaningfully. He appreciated the banks Chief Executives for their
understanding, hardwork and indeed contributing significantly towards ensuring
that nothing else, but good governance, which the governor promised the people is
achieved during his tenure as the Governor of Plateau State.
