He enjoined them to assist the commissioners in the various ministries they would be assigned to achieve optimal results by providing proper guidance and advice as well as monitoring the activities of their subordinates.

Governor Bello received the leadership of the Nigerian Association of Women Entrepreneurs at the security chambers.

He commended the association for making plans to train 500 women in the state in vocational skills.

He further promised to grant the request for 2 hectares of land made by the association to build an entrepreneurship Centre.
