Describing the commissioner as “a pearl among peers” and “a treasure that the entire sons and daughters of Okpoma, as well as Yala in general, must work assiduously to protect, preserve, and conserve,” Mrs Hadiza emphasised the importance of community support for leaders who demonstrate commitment to development and service.
“You are lucky to have the commissioner from your community,” she said. “She is a kind-hearted woman, and you must work hard to protect her.”
