Vice President Kashim Shettima has said military offensives alone could not sustainably resolve the security crisis in the North-West.

This was contained in a statement signed by the VP and read by the State House Director of Information, Office of the Vice President, Olusola Abiola .

The Vice President added that it would take a mix of kinetic and non-kinetic strategies to restore calm in the troubled region.

The Vice President revealed that the Tinubu administration would, in the coming weeks, unveil an initiative to address insurgency and poverty, among other challenges confronting Nigerians, especially those living in the northern region.
