“You should hold a stakeholders meeting first and introduce yourselves as those who are called for this assignment, the party also requests that you should reach out to security agencies in Kogi State upon arrival, the SSS, the Police and other security agencies upon arrival so that they won’t say they were not informed, “he said.
