The Governor of Nasarawa State, Abdullahi Sule, has cautioned government officials against the temptation of seeking quick wealth. He made this statement on Tuesday while hosting the state’s Deputy Governor, Emmanuel Akabe, and a delegation of government officials during a Sallah visit in Gudi, Akwanga Local Government Area.
Governor Sule urged the officials to focus on contributing to the state’s long-term development rather than pursuing short-term financial gains.
He emphasized that the pursuit of rapid wealth often leads to individuals acquiring money in illegitimate ways, which ultimately benefits them little. He added, “What I’ve noticed time and again is that people search for quick wealth, take the money, but it doesn’t benefit them in any meaningful way. It’s tragic for someone to amass illicit wealth and die, leaving behind no trace of where the money is hidden.”
The Governor reaffirmed his administration’s dedication to implementing policies and projects that will continue to benefit the state beyond his tenure. He highlighted efforts to create a sustainable environment that will attract and protect investors, even after his term ends in 2027.
“We are taking significant steps to ensure that investors who come into the state are well protected, even after I leave office. This includes introducing legal frameworks to safeguard investments,” Sule explained. “This commitment is one of the reasons why investors are showing interest in Nasarawa State.”
The delegation, which was led by the Deputy Governor, included commissioners, special advisers, senior special assistants, and heads of various agencies, departments, and parastatals.
