Governor Sani meets security heads over Kaduna bandits
Governor Uba Sani on Wednesday met with heads of security agencies to articulate new approaches to tackle Kaduna bandits and other criminals.
The governor told journalists shortly after the close-door meeting in Kaduna that his major concern remained the safety and welfare of the people.
“I am quite impressed by the effort of all the security agencies as they have been doing very well; I am happy with the level of their coordination,” he said. “The meeting looked at the security situation generally as it affects the citizens.”
Mr Sani assured that the operation tempo would be sustained and his government would continue to support the security agencies.
The governor added, “But one important area is to engage the general public on security issues because we believe security is a collective responsibility.”
He explained that he would “try as much as possible to support the security agencies and engage the citizens so that they can also have confidence in the effort being put together towards salvaging the situation.”
