He said, “it behooves me to pay homage to the paramount rulers in the State, as a way of familiarising myself with the highly revered monarchs and solicit their advice, support, cooperation, and prayers, towards having a successful tenure at the Ministry”.

Responding, Oba Adetona pledged his continued assistance to the Ministry and the present administration, urging Hon. Hamzat to build on the achievements of his predecessor and do more for the benefit of the people.
