The governor, represented by his Deputy, Prof. Amos Utuama, SAN, said, “Recipients should be able to demonstrate transparent commitment through identifying with these communities as partners with government to ensure even and sustainable development of the state.

“I appeal to your Royal Majesty to be very meticulous in the choice of your subjects and other deserving persons you wish to confer chieftaincy titles on.”
