The Secretary to the Zamfara State Government, Abubakar Nakwada, has said the security challenge in the state is not yet over.
Nakwada disclosed this on Wednesday while briefing journalists at his office in the J.B. Yakubu Secretariat, Gusau, ahead of the state’s 30th anniversary.
He said the state government recognised the sacrifices of personnel of the Armed Forces, Nigeria Police Force, Department of State Services, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps and other conventional security agencies operating in Zamfara.
Nakwada said some security personnel had lost their lives while serving in difficult circumstances and defending communities affected by banditry and kidnapping.
He said the government would continue to provide legitimate support to security agencies within its capacity to improve security across the state.
“We recognise that the security challenge is not yet over. Government therefore remains resolute in providing every legitimate support within its capacity until our communities are safer, livelihoods are restored, and our people can pursue their daily activities without fear,” he said.Zamfara security challenges not yet over — SSG
