He assured them of his commitment to providing whatever resources are needed to carry out their functions effectively.

Engr Grace Samuel, the association’s secretary and an alumna of the Royal father, was visibly moved by the warm reception.
She expressed her heartfelt thanks and prayed for the Maigari’s wisdom and grace to lead his people, saying, “Coming before you is like coming back home.

Your fatherly support and guidance mean the world to us.”she added.
