TODAY, ONE AK-47 RIFLE AND LIVE AMMUNITION WERE RECOVERED, WHILE ONE SUSPECTED KIDNAPPER WAS NEUTRALIZED. Earlier today, operatives of the Special Anti-Kidnapping Squad of the Delta State Police Command engaged suspected kidnappers in a gun duel. During the operation, one of the suspects was neutralized and an AK-47 rifle with live ammunition was recovered. This criminal gang has been terrorizing commuters along the Ogwashi-Uku/Ubulu-Unor Road and the Issele-Uku/Ubulu-Uku Road. Recall that on Sunday, 10th May 2026, the gang reportedly kidnapped a young lady along the Issele-Uku/Ubulu-Uku axis and victim family paid ransom to the kidnappers. Today, 18th May 2026, intelligence received from SafeCity Forest Intels was swiftly relayed to the Anti-Kidnapping Squad, who immediately acted on the information, trailed the suspects, and engaged them. DEAR DELTANS, please continue to report cases of kidnapping and suspicious activities discreetly to security authorities. Every credible information shared contributes greatly to the safety of our communities, and results will continue to speak for themselves. Special appreciation to the Delta State Commissioner of Police and his management team for their dedication and commitment toward securing our communities. God bless His Excellency, Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori , for his continued support to us #MoreSecurity Harrison Gwamnishu Founder, SafeCity Volunteer Foundation.

KIDNAPPED PALM WINE TAPPERS, ONE KILLED AFTER FAMILY OFFERED Yesterday, i led Security Agencies in search of two Palm Wine tappers kidnapped in their farm at Emuhu, near Agbor Delta State. Security agencies responded swiftly. The Military from the 63 Brigade, the Emuhu Vigilante Group, Anti-Cult Abavo, Operation Soup, and teams of Police officers all joined us in the search and rescue mission. From Emuhu, to Abavo, to Obi-Ayama, to Urhonigbe. We were able to locate one of the victims at Urhonigbe, Edo State. He narrated the heartbreaking incident 💔 on how his colleague was killed after the man’s family attempted to negotiate with the kidnappers using the only money they had, N10,000. This is the painful reality our people are facing.

THREE KIDNAPPED VICTIMS RESCUED UNHURT, PART OF RANSOM PAYMENT RECOVERED IN IMO STATE. On invitation, yesterday I arrived in Imo State and went through Ogbaku, Ejemekwuru, Amakohia Ubi, Ndegwu Okuku, and Ireti communities. Working in collaboration with the Nigeria Army 34 Artillery Brigade, Imo State Homeland Security, and the Amakohia Ubi Security Network, we carried out a coordinated operation. With technical and intelligence support from the Safe City Volunteer Team, we traced the kidnappers to a farmland in Ndegwu Okuku, where security operatives engaged them in a gun battle. The kidnappers fled the scene and abandoned three victims they had held captive while awaiting ransom payments from their families. A total of five victims were kidnapped. One release yesterday paid ransom, one was killed by the kidnappers and three was rescued unhurt by us. The rescued victims revealed that the kidnappers are eight in number and are strangers speaking Fulani. One of the kidnappers said he was kidnapped last week Friday around Portharcourt road and they trekked to Ejemekwuru Information gathered shows that these kidnappers are scattered across the above mentioned communities and other parts of Owerri West. Special thanks to everyone who made this rescue mission a success 🙌. (NAMES HIDDEN). I wish to draw the attention of the Imo State Government to the activities of these armed bandits now taking refuge in some communities within the state. #ImoState #EndKidnapping #Security #Tech Harrison Gwamnishu Safe City Volunteer Foundation

Two months ago, in October, Harrison and his team, through their Air Tech System Surveillance, recovered ₦7.5 million from kidnappers in Ibusa, Oshimili North LGA, Delta State. This occurred immediately after the victim's family, Christopher Owah, made a ransom payment to free their father, following threats from the kidnappers that they would kill him if the money was not provided. This event didn't simply end with tracking the kidnappers to their hideout; a fierce gun battle ensued between the kidnappers and the joint team of the 63 Brigade, Asaba, and NFSS operatives. Meanwhile, prior to the incident, Harrison had raised an alert warning residents of Delta North about the resurgence of armed kidnappers in the area. Nevertheless, the victim was safely returned to his family, along with the ₦7.5 million initially taken by the kidnappers. Harrison Gwamnishu is a national treasure and should know that he is highly valuable to Nigerians. Harrison Gwamnishu we see everything you do for Nigerians. You’re a National Hero.

Yesterday, I visited the palace of the Onojie of Ekpoma, His Royal Highness, Zaiki Anthony Ehizojie Abumere Il, following the protest in Ekpoma that resulted in the attack of the palace and widespread destruction of property in the community. Having met with the stakestakeholders, I want to reassure the good people of Edo State that your safety remains my top priority. My administration has made strong investments in modern security equipment, intelligence gathering, and collaboration among security agencies, and these efforts are already yielding results in our fight against kidnapping, cultism, and other crimes. Let me be clear: Edo State will not be taken hostage by criminals or their sponsors. Anyone involved in kidnapping or any form of criminal activity will be tracked down and brought to justice. There will be no hiding place for them. While we respect the right of citizens to express themselves peacefully, I urge everyone to remain calm, vigilant, and law abiding, and not allow anyone to exploit genuine concerns to threaten the peace of our state. Security operations are ongoing across Edo, and my government is firmly in control of the situation. Together with our security agencies and with the support of our people, we will continue to restore and sustain peace across Edo State. A safe, peaceful, and prosperous Edo remains our collective goal. #PracticalGovernance #SHINEagenda

Hunters rescue kidnapped herder, neutralise gang leader in Yobe By: Zagazola Makama A local hunters’ group has successfully rescued a kidnapped herder, Alhaji Babawuro, from captivity in Yobe State without payment of ransom, following a coordinated operation with security authorities. Sources told Zagazola Makama that the Babawuro, a resident of Kurbunga village under Shamka District of the Ngelzarma Emirate in Fune Local Government Area, was abducted at about 2:00 a.m. on Nov. 29, 2025, and taken to an unknown location. The sources said the incident was reported to the Damagum Police Division on Nov. 30, after which the kidnappers contacted the victim’s family and demanded a ransom of N50 million. “It was the fifth time the victim had been kidnapped, apparently due to his status as a wealthy herder,” the sources said. They explained that while negotiations were ongoing and the police were making arrangements to transfer the case to the State Criminal Investigation Department for further investigation, the Special Adviser on Security Matters to the Yobe State Governor and the Emir of Ngelzarma held consultations with the Commissioner of Police. According to the sources, it was agreed that a hunters’ group with proven expertise in kidnap rescue operations should be engaged to assist the police. “The hunters subsequently took over negotiations, which were reduced to N7 million, while efforts were intensified to trace the kidnappers,” the sources said. They added that the hunters traced the victim and the kidnappers to Sandi village in Gulani Local Government Area. “At about 4:30 a.m. on Thursday, Dec. 11, the hunters stormed the hideout and successfully rescued the victim without paying any ransom,” the sources said. During the operation, the leader of the kidnap gang, identified as Ahmadu Shuwa, also known as “Sumo,” was neutralised, while another suspect, Mohammed Bello, sustained gunshot injuries. The sources further disclosed that two other members of the gang were arrested and have confessed to the crime. The rescued victim, who has since reunited with his family, was treated at the State Specialist Hospital, Damaturu, and later reported the incident at the Damagum Police Station. Efforts are ongoing to recover the weapons used by the kidnappers ahead of handing over the suspects and exhibits to the Nigeria Police for further investigation and prosecution. The hunters’ group were commended for their role in the successful rescue operation.

This is to inform the general public, Nigerians and the Delta State government Delta State Government that children from Happy Home Orphanage Okwe, Delta State were kidnapped by unknown gunmen who invaded their orphanage home since Sunday, 15th June 2025 and selected 7 boys and the only 17 year old girl from the about 20 children in the orphanage. There was only 1 staff present while others were at church, and they lied to her that they came from B Division of Delta State Police for inspection Delta Police Department Delta State police denied any knowledge and assisted to trace the men who abducted the children. After months of searching for these children, the police Nigeria Police Force discovered it was not even the police but some members of Kano State National Agency for Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons NAPTIP who came ILLEGALLY into Delta State to take those children named: 1. Madu Abuchukwu Elijah - Male 2. Madu Abuchukwu Chinwemeri - Male 3.Madu Abuchukwu Nzubechukwu Ifeanyi 4.Chimamanda Azuke Mpa - Male 5. Chibuike Azuka - Male 6.Munachi Ogugua - Male 7. Chidalu Samuel Emeh - Male 8. Chikamso - Female Kano NAPTIP did not report to any security arm of Delta State and so the case was treated as a kidnap since June. It later emerged they had an operation in Anambra and rather than leave, they entered Delta illegally for a supposed operation without any notice to security agencies. NAPTIP also denied and maintained that they had no information about the kids. Thankfully, in August, one of the children managed to get hold of a phone and immediately called the orphanage in Delta State. He pleaded with them to rescue them, revealing he asked around and found out they were being held in Kano State, at a place called Nasarawa Children’s Home. He further disclosed that their names had been changed and they were being forced to study the Quran. He also put the kids together and quickly took a pic that showed the 17 year old girl, Chikamso now wearing an hijab. From this information, the Delta State Police, NSCDC and the orphanage home swung into action to get the kids. After the information became public, the phone number the children used to contact them became unreachable. After nearly 4 months of silence since June 15th, because the case came public 3 days ago, NAPTIP is now issuing a statement on September 16th, claiming the children were trafficked from the North to Delta and have now been reunited with their families in the North. This is not the first time this is happening but NAPTIP picked the wrong orphanage this time, this particular orphanage also has kids whose mothers are alive and work as staff. The mothers are shocked with the abduction and with NAPTIP’s statement, while NAPTIP claims the kids were taken from families in the North and are now reunited in Kano. QUESTIONS FOR NAPTIP 1. Why did your officials lie that they were from Division B of Delta State police when they went to kidnap these children from the orphanage home in Delta on June 15th? 2. Why did Kano NAPTIP enter Delta State, take children, and claim a trafficking operation without informing or reporting it to any security agency even after taking the children? 3. If the orphanage was truly a trafficking center, why did NAPTIP take the grown 7 boys and the only 17-year-old girl, leaving behind babies and the other smaller children? 4. NAPTIP took these children from Delta to Kano since June 15, so why wait until September 16th, after the matter became public to issue a statement and claim the kids were reunited with their families? 5. Why has NAPTIP refused to present the children to the authorities for an interview and show the said real families they claimed were reunited? 6. Since when is NAPTIP’s job to Islamize victims, changing their names, making Chibuike bear Ahmed and forcing them to study Quran, and why is Chikamso being forced to wear hijabs and learn about Islamic husbands? Enough is Enough. Nigeria should not become a banana republic.

● I’ve attended today a simulated special operation exercise conducted by the Counter-Terrorism Unit, involving a raid to free hostages and arrest terrorist elements. The exercise demonstrated a high level of readiness, efficiency, and discipline, and confirmed the professionalism this elite force has achieved through advanced training and qualification programs. These programs were conducted with direct support from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, to whom we extend our sincere thanks and deep appreciation for their ongoing and genuine support in building the capabilities of Yemeni state institutions, particularly the security and military apparatus. ● Counterterrorism efforts must be managed exclusively through legitimate state institutions, within a clear legal and institutional framework that guarantees the rule of law, protects citizens' rights, and prevents a descent into chaos and the proliferation of power centers. Experience has proven that any security efforts carried out outside the authority of the state only complicate the situation, expand the scope of violations, and undermine opportunities for stability. The security lapses we have witnessed in some areas are a direct result of bypassing state institutions and operating outside their legitimate framework. ● The state affirms its unwavering commitment to combating terrorism in all its forms through an effective partnership and close coordination with the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy, led by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and in cooperation with the international community. This commitment ensures respect for international humanitarian law, the protection of civilians, and the enhancement of security and stability at both the national and regional levels. ● The state is also committed to its national, regional, and international responsibilities in protecting international waterways and shipping lanes, which are vital arteries for global trade and regional security. This commitment is demonstrated through continuous cooperation with the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy and international partners, contributing to the preservation of maritime security, the protection of shared interests, and the deterrence of any threats to freedom of navigation and its security. ● Within the same context, the state will resolutely continue its joint efforts with the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy to combat arms smuggling to the Houthi terrorist militia and to cut off its sources of weapons. And its funding, given the direct threat this poses to national, regional, and international security, prolongs the conflict, and undermines peace prospects. ● The core of the Yemeni crisis remains the coup by the terrorist Houthi militia against the state and its legitimate institutions, and the resulting systematic destruction of the political, security, economic, and humanitarian situation. Therefore, restoring the state and ending the coup is a national priority that cannot be postponed. The state will continue to complete the liberation and restore its institutions, peacefully whenever possible, and by force when necessary, to preserve Yemen's sovereignty, security, stability, and unity of its national decision.

And its funding, given the direct threat this poses to national, regional, and international security, prolongs the conflict, and undermines peace prospects. ● The core of the Yemeni crisis remains the coup by the terrorist Houthi militia against the state and its legitimate institutions, and the resulting systematic destruction of the political, security, economic, and humanitarian situation. Therefore, restoring the state and ending the coup is a national priority that cannot be postponed. The state will continue to complete the liberation and restore its institutions, peacefully whenever possible, and by force when necessary, to preserve Yemen's sovereignty, security, stability, and unity of its national decision.

It was a revealing experience for me during the visits, last week, to Gombe, Katsina, and Sokoto States, where we had the opportunity to witness firsthand the challenges and progress in Nigeria’s healthcare system. Meeting with the Governors and key stakeholders, we reinforced our commitment to maternal and child mortality reduction, hospital revitalization, and expanding access to essential health services. In Gombe State Government of Gombe State, I commended HE Governor Inuwa Yahaya’s Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya leadership in immunization and healthcare financing while highlighting how the $1 billion Project Hope Project HOPE will complement state-level investments, ensuring sustainable health outcomes at the grassroots. In Katsina State Katsina State Government, I underscored the urgency of tackling maternal mortality, where 15 local government areas contribute significantly to the national burden. Through the MNH-MaMII Initiative, NHIA NIGERIA, we aim to work with the state to ensure that every pregnant woman receives the care she needs. In Sokoto State Sokoto Government House, where maternal mortality stands at 977 per 100,000 live births, collaboration is key. With the Emergency Medical System #NEMSAS and ambulance scheme, expanded primary healthcare revitalization, and routine immunization efforts, we are ensuring that no woman or child is left behind. Across these visits, we reaffirmed our whole-of-government and whole-of-society approach, working in alignment with H.E. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Bola Ahmed Tinubu Nigeria Health Sector Renewal Investment Initiative (#NHSRII). I’d like to thank my colleagues from NPHCDA led by its Executive Director, Dr. Muyi Aina, Dr. Muyi Aina, our partner, Chris Elias Chris Elias, President, Global Development, Gates Foundation, Gates Foundation and other partner organizations for their support and collaboration. Together with state governments, development partners, and frontline health workers, we will continue to drive sustainable reforms, ensuring affordable, quality healthcare for all Nigerians. #NigeriaHealthRenewal #ProjectHope #MaternalHealth #PrimaryHealthcare #HealthForAll

Civilian Informant Cries Out for Protection After Exposing Terrorist Activities. Please watch & Share A civilian informant has made a public plea to both the government and the general public for urgent protection, claiming his life is in danger after providing intelligence on terrorist activities. “There’s a terrorist named Bashar Mania, who claimed to have had a dialogue with the government (under former Governor Matawalle) but never actually repented. I know where they live here in Sokoto. I gave this information to security operatives, and they apprehended him. During the arrest, they recovered an AK-47 rifle. “I also provided intelligence that led to an operation in which one of his relatives was killed. Since then, Bashar Mania and his brother Buhari have vowed to kill me. They even reported me to the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle. “Now, they’re after me. They’ve tracked and frozen my bank account. They also sent secret police—who don’t report to the Sokoto State Government or its security outfit—to arrest me, just because I exposed them. My life is at risk,” said Aminu Muhammad Kamarawa.

NIGERIA UPDATE: El-Rufai’s response to the statements by the National Security Adviser and the Kaduna State Government alleging the ‘Politicization of National Security’. - Part 3 of 3 As Governor of Kaduna State for eight years, we worked with two Ministers of Defence, one National Security Adviser, two Chiefs of Defence Staff, three Chiefs of Army Staff, two Chiefs of Naval Staff, two Chiefs of Air Staff, two Chiefs of Defence Intelligence, four Inspectors-General of Police, and three Directors-General of the State Security Service (DSS). This is aside from several General Officers Commanding, Air Officers Commanding, Commissioners of Police, State Directors of Security, and military commanders at state levels. Our appreciation for the sacrifices made and still being made by our military and security officers is deep. That is why we speak out about those saddled with immense responsibility two years ago who seem to view security management as a persistent exercise in propaganda and make-belief, and as cover for diverting public funds and abusing power with impunity. Neither the ONSA nor the Kaduna State Government can stop the exercise of constitutional rights to associate with others, have meetings, express opinions and alternatives to the fictitious narrative of officialdom. They are advised to concentrate their efforts on solving security issues, rather than seeing in the misery of affected citizens opportunities to claim false glories and divert and squander funds. Insecurity is the menace they ought to eliminate, not opposition voices and platforms. The repeated haranguing by the KDSG of some of its own officials and some security agencies for not disrupting visits and meetings in Kaduna by certain prominent persons is well-known. The thuggery unleashed against the ADC meeting of Saturday, 30 August 2025 shows that those harangued government officials and some officers of security agencies have succumbed to blandishments to sponsor and enable violence against those that legitimately oppose their government. Why is this not attracting the attention of the ONSA as a major security issue? Is it until it leads to anarchy due to total politicization of policing in the state?. National security is a very serious matter, critical to the peace and prosperity of the country, and the safety and wellbeing of citizens. It is unpatriotic to disguise incompetence in understanding it, much less managing it, as media stunts. In managing difficult circumstances, I recommend a new message to ONSA and its sidekick in Kaduna and elsewhere, the admonition by an African patriot of old: “tell no lies, claim no easy victories.” Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai Abuja, Nigeria 1st September, 2025

TROOPS OF OPERATION UDOKA DISMANTLE CRIMINAL SYNDICATE, RECOVER STOLEN WEAPONS Troops of 34 Artillery Brigade, operating under Operation UDOKA through the ongoing Operation EASTERN SANITY II, have recorded a significant operational success with the arrest of key members of a notorious criminal syndicate responsible for the ambush of troops on 4 May 2026. Unfortunately, the ambush claimed the life of one soldier and left another wounded. Following the attack, troops launched a series of intelligence-led raids aimed at apprehending the perpetrators and recovering weapons stolen during the incident. These sustained operations resulted in the arrest of the suspects. Acting on actionable intelligence, in the early hours of 31 July 2026, troops in collaboration with 181 Battalion operating under 63 Brigade, Nigerian Army, conducted a coordinated raid at Opaebe and Oleh in Delta State, which led to the arrest of the suspects popularly known as Chiboy, Marathon, and Onowu, who had fled to Oleh in Delta State after the dastardly ambush on troops. Subsequently, the suspects guided troops to their hideouts at Aggah Plantation, Ekpeaggah, Rivers State, and Umudike Plantation, where the stolen weapons and other arms used in committing their nefarious acts were concealed. During the operation, troops recovered the stolen service weapons comprising one AK-47 rifle with two magazines and one FN rifle with two magazines. Additionally, troops recovered three more AK-47 rifles with nine magazines, pistols with their magazines, 194 rounds of 7.62mm Special ammunition, and 45 rounds of 7.62mm NATO ammunition. Military clothing and protective gear, including camouflage shirts, trousers, jungle hats, and a fragment protection jacket, were also recovered. Other items included one empty first aid box and five mobile phones believed to be linked to the syndicate’s criminal activities. The suspects are currently in custody for further investigation and will face prosecution in accordance with the law. The Headquarters Joint Task Force South-East, Operation UDOKA, commends the professionalism, resilience, and inter-agency cooperation demonstrated by the troops throughout the operation. This success underscores the commitment of the Nigerian Armed Forces and other security agencies to safeguarding lives and dismantling criminal networks in order to sustain the peace-building processes ongoing across the region.

NIGERIAN ARMY-LED JOINT SECURITY TEAM RESCUES 16 KIDNAP VICTIMS IN KOGI Troops of the Nigerian Army, working in close collaboration with personnel of the Nigerian Navy, the Nigeria Police Force, local vigilantes and hunters, have successfully rescued all 16 persons abducted by suspected kidnappers during a coordinated search and rescue operation in Kogi State. The victims were kidnapped on Sunday 9 August 2026 when armed criminals attacked commuters along the Ojuwo–Ajengo–Memarebo and Ojiwo–Itobe roads in Ofu Local Government Area of the state. Acting swiftly on credible intelligence that the victims had been moved to the vicinity of Adumu Community in Dekina Local Government Area, troops of 21 Battalion and personnel of the Nigerian Navy Ship (NNS) Lugard immediately launched a joint search and rescue operation alongside the Nigeria Police, vigilantes and local hunters. During the operation, the joint security team established contact with the fleeing kidnappers and engaged them in a fierce firefight. Overwhelmed by the superior firepower and coordinated assault of the security forces, the criminals abandoned all their captives and escaped into the surrounding forest with gunshot wounds. The operation culminated in the successful rescue of all 16 kidnapped victims, comprising six adult males, six adult females and four children. The rescued victims are undergoing documentation, medical assessment and reunification with their families. Regrettably, one local hunter who participated courageously in the operation paid the supreme sacrifice, May his soul rest in peace. Also, one police personnel sustained injuries during the encounter and is currently receiving medical treatment. Their bravery and commitment to protecting innocent citizens are deeply appreciated. The successful rescue of the 16 victims underscores the effectiveness of sustained joint operations and the synergy among the Nigerian Army, sister security agencies and local security stakeholders in combating kidnapping and other violent crimes. It also reflects the resolve of security forces to deny criminal elements freedom of action across the country. The Nigerian Army commends members of the public for their continued cooperation and timely provision of credible information, which remains critical to ongoing efforts to protect lives and restore peace. Citizens are encouraged to remain vigilant and continue supporting security agencies by reporting suspicious activities through appropriate channels.

The Nigerian Army commends members of the public for their continued cooperation and timely provision of credible information, which remains critical to ongoing efforts to protect lives and restore peace. Citizens are encouraged to remain vigilant and continue supporting security agencies by reporting suspicious activities through appropriate channels.

For eight incredible years, Kathryn and I have greeted every day with enormous gratitude for the opportunity to serve the citizens of North Dakota as governor and first lady. We have been rewarded with a deeper sense of love and appreciation for this exceptional place where we were born, where we became a family and where we embarked on an immensely rewarding journey into public service. Our two terms in office have reaffirmed what we already knew: North Dakota truly is the best of America. From the farm fields to the oil fields, North Dakotans work tirelessly to feed and fuel the world. Agriculture and energy form the bedrock of a robust and increasingly diverse economy that has continued to expand across manufacturing, technology, health care, aerospace, retail, tourism and other areas. Our abundant natural resources are the envy of the nation, from the rich soils of the Red River Valley to the bountiful oil and gas deposits of the Bakken, to the highly productive lakes, rivers, grasslands and Badlands teeming with fish and wildlife. On our first day in office, in our first meeting with cabinet agency leaders, and in my first State of the State address, I issued this challenge: Anything being done simply because “that’s the way we have always done it” should be and must be rigorously and respectfully questioned. And no matter what, we must have the courage to admit that we can always do better. In the ensuing years, we harnessed the power of technology to reinvent government processes to be more efficient, responsive and cost-effective for taxpayers. We engaged our tribal nations in new and unprecedented ways, strengthening relationships built on understanding and mutual respect. We prioritized behavioral health and reduced the stigma of the disease of addiction, inspiring thousands to find hope in recovery. We encouraged and supported cities of all sizes in their efforts to create healthy, vibrant communities with smart, efficient infrastructure that can attract and retain a skilled workforce. We empowered teachers with policies and tools to support innovative education. We provided historic tax relief and diversified our economy to make our state more competitive and resilient. Through it all, we fought to protect the freedoms and safety that make our state a great place to live, work and raise a family. Working with the Legislature, Lt. Govs. Tammy Miller and Brent Sanford, and other state and local officials, we expanded Second Amendment rights. We passed “Back the Blue” policies and programs to support our peace officers, firefighters and first responders. We made huge strides toward making North Dakota the most military-friendly state in the nation. This work – firmly rooted in the values of courage, curiosity, gratitude and humility – was fulfilling beyond measure. It’s as President Theodore Roosevelt said: “Far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.” We caught the prize, and the last eight years have been filled with work worth doing. We owe North Dakota’s positive outlook to the private-sector innovators and entrepreneurs, the bold leaders and risk-takers, the teachers, nurses, laborers and other workers on the front lines, and the outstanding efforts of dedicated Team ND members who strive every day to ensure that state government lives up to our purpose statement: Empower People, Improve Lives and Inspire Success. Our state has never been stronger. Our future has never been brighter. Thank you for being an important part of our state’s ongoing success, and thank you for giving Kathryn and me this opportunity to serve the Great State of North Dakota!
