The governor made the appeal on Monday while felicitating with the Emir of Ilorin, Ibrahim Kolapo Zulu- Gambari, on the occasion of the 29th years anniversary of his coronation as Emir of the historic emirate.
The governor said the government at all levels could feel the pulse of hardship in the society, noting that the country was passing through the process of transformation which apparently is always difficult.
