He further elaborated on the logo’s significance, highlighting its educational value for the younger generation, as it encapsulates symbols of the state’s landmarks, strengths, resources, and history. Additionally, the governor emphasized the logo’s role as a tool for promoting the state both domestically and internationally.
Concluding his remarks, the governor remarked, “It is my honor and privilege to introduce the new logo as the symbol of our state. This announcement will herald a new life of prosperity, abundance, and sustainability for our people and admirers.
