Aliyu made the plea when he received the Switzerland Ambassador to Nigeria, Nicolas Lang, on a courtesy call.
The governor appealed for Switzerland’s support for Sokoto State in the areas of out-of-school children, IDP camps, and vulnerable groups.
“All these groups need your serious support in line with the intervention you are giving to our country, Nigeria. “My administration is always ready to collaborate with any country or body working towards making the lives of our people better,” he added. He thanked the Envoy for the visit and assured him of his administration’s readiness to partner with his country in the overall interest of the state.
Earlier, Lang, represented by the Press Secretary for Humanitarian and Development Cooperation, Nicholas Martins, told the governor that Switzerland has been implementing humanitarian projects in close collaboration with the Nigerian government since 2014.
