Niger State Governor Abubakar Sani Bello says with the renewed strategy by security agencies, the insecurity situation in the state will be surmounted in no distant time.
Bello said this when he addressed journalists after an expanded
security meeting at the Government House, Minna, the state capital.
“By the grace of God with the efforts being applied at the moment, we
shall overcome most of these challenges soon”, Bello was quoted to
have said in a statement by his spokesperson, Mary Noel-Berje.
The governor who expressed concern over recent bandit attacks in some
communities in the state said the outcome of the security meeting
would yield positive results.
While condoling families of the attacks, Bello said the government is
not unaware of the hardship posed as a result of the activities of
bandits, and assured residents that the government would leave no
stone unturned in addressing the security situation in the state.
Present at the expanded security meeting that lasted for several hours
included heads of security chiefs in the state, the Speaker, Niger
State House of Assembly, the state chief judge, local government
chairmen, traditional and religious leaders.
