The governor commended the foresight of the convener of the meeting maintaining that such events drive and promote unity and togetherness, urging other communities to emulate such.
Chairman of Dukku local government council, Jamilu Ahmed Shabewa, said that the conferment of the national honours on the Emir came at the right time in recognition of his tireless commitment to the good of humanity.
