I want to take this opportunity to thank him for the immense assistance he has rendered to us in our fight against insecurity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhen I heard about your promotion, I was eager to meet you, at least to organize a dinner in your honor, which we will definitely do. Most importantly, I am happy for your achievement; it is for the people of Zamfara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs I mentioned, we share a collective responsibility to develop Zamfara. We will keep the lines of communication open so that any challenges we encounter will be shared with you, allowing for your valuable input. My door is always open to suggestions, recommendations, and constructive criticisms. Feel free to share. A better Zamfara means happiness for all of us. Thank you for the visit, and congratulations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier, the delegation leader and NSCDC Commander of Zone 2, ACG Haruna Bala Zurmi, stated that Governor Lawal\u2019s administration\u2019s contribution enabled their promotion, noting that it has never occurred in the corps\u2019 history for a state to have 10 officers promoted in a single promotion exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt is to our strong belief that the gesture by the Commandant General wasn\u2019t unconnected to the unflinching support and assistance the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Zamfara State command receives under your administration and able stewardship.
