Governor Umaru Bago says he will do everything to restore lasting peace to all parts of Niger.

Mr Bago said this when he paid homage to the Emir of Minna, Umaru Bahago, during the Eid-el-Kabir celebration on Thursday in Minna.

The governor, represented by Deputy Governor Yakubu Garba, assured the people of his readiness and commitment to rid Niger of all criminal elements.

”We will not leave any stone unturned in ensuring that normalcy and total peace is restored in all parts of Niger state,” the governor promised.

Mr Bago sympathised with the emir over the security challenges in some parts of the emirate. He promised to uphold the dignity of the traditional institutions in Niger, adding that they would be incorporated to support the government in providing good governance to the people.
