Mustapha-Rifun appealed to the state government to intervene with relief and incentive to assist in realising the mandate of putting the state’s property into a modern status and judicious use.
NAN reports that ten of the twenty-five rooms in the motel were seriously damaged. Reacting to the development, the immediate past state Head of Service, Alhaji Dabarako Muhammad sympathised with the owner, describing the incident as unfortunate.
