Mr. Telar said that he was not able to accomplish all his plans with regard to the problem of insecurity in Lakes State.
He explained that he wished to convene conferences with governors of all neighbouring states to find a common ground to tackle conflicts, but his time in office was short.
Mr. Telar thanked all those who worked closely with him during his three months tenure in office as Lakes State caretaker governor.
He extended his gratitude to the citizens of Lakes state for what he described as their “unwavering support”.
