This was even as Blair commended the State Governor Bello Mohammed for his cosmopolitan approach to solving the lingering crisis in the state.
A statement issued by the Special Adviser to the Governor on Media, Zailani Bappa on Sunday stated that Blair, who received the Governor at the Institute in London, said he was impressed by the efforts made by the governor to reach out to the international community in trying to resolve the internal crisis facing his state and Nigeria.
He promised to use his capacity in mobilising support, resources and investors to Zamfara State as his own contribution to solve the crisis facing the state.
He added that his Institute will assist in the area of security and development, adding that the governor’s interaction with the United Nations on these matters of concern is not only a welcome development but a step in the right direction.
Earlier, Governor Matawalle commended the former prime minister and his institute for their unbridled support to the needy and promised to continue to liaise with the institute for the betterment of the international community.
Governor Matawalle noted the contributions of the institute to African countries such as Ghana, Togo, Ethiopia, Cote d’ Voire, among others.
“We have also seen how this Institute has helped improve public policy, governance, and service delivery in a number of states”, the governor added.
Governor Matawalle said the state is in dire need of support in the area of security, humanitarian crisis and healthcare.
