But I remembered when you came in, you were eager to let chiefs sit, even though we continue to give you the respects that was due you, that is your attitude and anytime I have met, that always what I saw you, that has shown that you indeed respect and regards chieftaincy and that is what I mean by your outstanding regards for the chieftaincy institution.” He said According to Naba Yelzoya Asaga II, Nabdam has not been left out in the share of the national cake. He was satisfied to inform the president that all his good policies, such as NABO, One District One Warehouse (1D1W), Planting for Food and Jobs (PFJ), etc are poverty alleviated policies which in one way or the other have to benefit the ordinary citizens of Nabdam. “His Excellency, I am pleased to inform you that Nabdam has got its own share of the national cake of which we are grateful.
