“I want to welcome you to your ancestral home. You were disconnected from your clan, but I to thank you for using your Foundation founded in memory of your late parents to help the less privileged.
“I encourage you to live above board and bring economic and social development to Ngasland and the state at large”, he encouraged the Gombwer family.
