Edo State government has promised to partner with traditional rulers to curb some of the security challenges in the state.
Governor Godwin Obaseki,stated this at the weekend on the occasion of the 25th annual Auchi Day celebration.
The governor who was represented by the Commissioner for Energy and Water Resources, Mr Moses Agbukor, explained that the need to partner with traditional rulers became inevitable since they know their domain more than anybody.
“Though we have been doing a lot to address the issue of insecurity, we will however, continue to do our best to ensure the safety of lives and properties in the state.”
