The Chairman, Keffi Local Government Council of Nasarawa State, Alhaji Abdulrahman Maigoro, has urged Nigerians to live peacefully and tolerate one another for the overall development of the country.

Maigoro made the call when the Madakin Keffi, a traditional title holder, Alhaji Audu Usman, paid him a courtesy visit in his office in Keffi on Thursday.

“I want to urge you as Madakin Keffi to continue to preach peace, considering the importance of peace to societal development.

“As no society will achieve meaningful progress and development without peace,” he said.
