Speaking during the turbaning ceremony at Emir Palace on Friday, Mr Sanusi urged the new title-holders to remain exemplary leaders and continue to uphold the values of service, humility and compassion toward the people.
“You have been chosen based on your track records and that of your families.
“Most of you have demonstrated unwavering loyalty to the emirate and our lineage and have contributed immensely to supporting the poor and advancing society.
“I urge you all to emulate your forebears. May God guide you in discharging your duties,” he said.
