He urged the legislators to think outside the box to support the Federal Executive Council in achieving success in President Bola Tinubu’s 8-point mandate.
The Minister further reiterated his unwavering commitment and that of the Minister to succeed in their mandate.
He emphasized that they have commenced familiarization tours of the Twelve River Basin Development Authorities across the country to assess their status and properly reposition them for the tasks ahead.
Goronyo appealed to the Legislators to partner the ministry in delivering the dividends of democracy not only to Sokoto State but to all Nigerians.
