The governor made the remarks during the 2022 West African Social Activities organised by the 23 Brigade of the Nigerian Army in Yola, the Adamawa state capital.
The activities, which took place at Gibson Jalo Cantonment, are an annual event held by the Army to mark the completion of training and includes social and cultural displays as well as musical performances and regimental activities by the troops and their families.
