Jimi Benson (MHR) and Hon. Nuru Saka Sholaja who despite the short notices too, hugely supports the Community to make sure that this year 2018 Day becomes a reality.

"I also want to recognize the support of my brother, Mr Moshood Aro. To all our donors too, we say a big thank you. God will always provide for your needs," he added.

Kuye therefore make used of the event to appeal to the State Government, having been so urged by all and sundries to please help rebuild their Palace, Town Hall, reconstruct the road from itagama to Ijede as this will surely improve the economic activities in the town.
