So, be deliberate and conscious about anything you do. “I want to encourage others to do more to enhance students development in he state. ” Honestly, I am being challenged personally and I use this medium to call on my Honorable Colleagues at State House of Assembly and elected chairmen and councilors at the grassroots to prioritize students welfare in their own little ways.”
