President BOLA TINUBU says the efforts of security forces in the fight against insecurity in the North-West are yielding results, and have disrupted and dismantled criminal networks.
The President said this at the North-West Peace and Security Summit organized by the North-West Governors’ Forum in Katsina, the capital of Katsina State on Monday.
Represented by the Vice President, KASHIM SHETTIMA, TINUBU assured Nigerians that the progress made so far is just the beginning as the government is making more effort to provide a better secure environment for all citizens.
The President dismissed insinuations insecurity in the North-West is a sectional agenda, arguing that whatever affects any part of the nation destabilizes the other. He says the administration’s promise of securing Nigeria remains its priority since assuming office over a year ago.
The President added that the government is coordinating joint training exercises, inter-agency cooperation, communication, and information sharing among security agencies.
Dignitaries that attended the security summit include former President MUHAMMADU BUHARI, Sultan of Sokoto Governor, DIKKO RADDA; Minister of Defence, MUHAMMAD BADARU; National Security Adviser, NUHU RIBADU, host Governor UMAR RADDA, other North-West governor among others.
