The Governor made this donation and gave this charge in Lafia, the state capital yesterday, at the inauguration ceremony of the newly elected executives of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Nasarawa state Branch.

Represented by his Special Adviser of Youths and Sports Development, Yakubu Kwanta, Engr. Sule, explained that, Nasarawa State was among few states in Northern Nigeria with minimal level of insecurity, attributing it to the harmonious living of residents of the state.

He noted that without peaceful co-existence among the people of the state, it would be difficult for Government to take development to several communities across the state, as no society can develop in a crises ridden atmosphere.

The Governor appealed to the people of the state to continue to pray for the success of his administration too.

The CAN executives whose tenure would last for a period of four years, were inaugurated by the CAN Chairman of the 19 Northern states, Rev. Joseph Hayab.

In his acceptance speech on behalf of other elected officials, the State CAN Chairman, Very Reverend Sunday Emmah, appreciated Christians in the state for entrusting the executives with the privilege to serve the state.
