He noted that Mr Nyako’s family in the state need no introduction because of the tremendous development they brought to the state especially when the scion of the family, Admiral Murtala Nyako led the state.
“We owe Nyako a great debt and this is the time to settle the debt. We all know the people’s oriented projects he brought especially his various empowerment programs which impacted the lives of every family in Adamawa.
“I remember with nostalgic feelings how the local apprenticeship skills, and other vocational empowerment projects removed thousands of Adamawa indigenes across the state from poverty.
