Tambuwal warned residents against flouting building regulations as well as the sokoto master plan.
He further urged residents and traders to desist from indiscriminate erection of structures in markets and other commercial areas.
”The people of the state should stop blocking access roads for firemen in case of any unforeseen eventuality."
” This is in order to give access for the fire men to do their job during fire outbreaks to save lives and property.”
He said his administration was workers-friendly as it promptly pays their salaries and allowances.

The governor promised to sustain the gesture, assuring that their pension and gratuities would continue to be accorded top priority.
”Pensions and gratuities of the state pensioners are paid as at when due. And we have introduced various training for the serving workers."
“Motivation is the best way to have the support of the service, because if your staff are redundant, you will not get the best out of them."
“We will also continue to give support to the private sector and also encourage them to motivate their staff to ensure improved productivity in the state”, he said.
