Buhari Is Serious About Ending Insecurity In Nigeria – Ganduje

Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje has come out to express worry over the increasing insecurity in the nation.

He recently revealed this while speaking to State House correspondents after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa Abuja.

According to him, the recent attack on Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue state was a very unfortunate situation, even if the appointment of new Service Chiefs, the situation would surely change things.

Ganduje added that he also knows that Buhari is serious about ending the insecurity situation in Nigeria.

His words, “I think it’s unfortunate, but I believe with appointment of new service chiefs, new strategy will be developed and I think Mr. President has always been serious on this issue, but is rather unfortunate.”

“Not only governors being attacked, anybody who is attacked in Nigeria, one should be worried because life is life. Certainly we’re worried because a governor is supposed to have some security with him, let alone of an ordinary man who has no security.”

“So you can see how serious the situation is. It’s unfortunate, but we believe will come over it.”

On his state, “All what I know as of today Kano is the most peaceful state in the federation and this is not by chance, there must be some security measures that we have taken, like full cooperation among the security agencies in Kano State.”

”We introduced the command and control centre; the CCTV where we are viewing the whole Metropolitan Kano, we have the most powerful tracker vehicle, equipment in Kano.”

“Falgore Forest where bandits usually inhabit, we said no, not in Kano State. We established a military training ground in Falgore Forest and therefore bandits cannot inhabit it.”

”Our border with Kaduna, we have a forest and where we are establishing ruga programme, we discussed with nomadic Fulani, they agreed to be settled there. In fact, other Fulani are even coming.”

“In conjunction with Islamic Bank, we’re building dam, artificial insemination centre, veterinary clinic, school for their children and all what it takes to form a settlement, we’re doing that.”

“We also established a security training institute where we are training our young men and women for community policing, even yesterday, I graduated graduated 200, whilwy 500 are under training there, with the advice of the security agencies in Kano.”
