The statement quoted Ganduje as describing the report and recommendations submitted by the Commission as critical, which should be implemented to address the menace.
He said: “After receiving the report of the Judicial Commission of Inquiry, we found out that the recommendations as important as they are should best be implemented by those who made the suggestions.

“Your first Committee was time bound, and this one is without limited time.”
Ganduje commended members of the Judicial Commission of Inquiry for an excellent job, noting that this explained why they were chosen and retained for the task to facilitate successful implementation of the report.
