Yobe State Governor Hon. Mai Mala Buni CON has called on the security agencies to redouble their effort to provide adequate security and proper maintenance of law and order in the state.

Buni made the call today in Damaturu at the commissioning of 47 four-wheel-drive vehicles and 50 motorcycles distributed to security agencies in the state.

He said government efforts towards supporting security agencies to enable them to carry out their duties effectively and efficiently are a means of ensuring the maintenance of law and order throughout the state.

“To achieve this noble objective, it has become necessary to provide adequate support to security agencies in terms of logistics to ease their movements on routine patrols or when responding to distress calls from citizens of the state.” Governor Buni said.

The governor appreciates the federal government and security agencies in ensuring that peace and security reign across Yobe State.

He maintained that our efforts in security agencies since assumption of office have been wide-ranging and inclusive through close collaborations to enhance synergy for a better working relationship to enhance successful operations to reduce crime in the state.

According to Governor Buni, one vehicle will be given to each of the 17 local government area chairmen to enhance their day-to-day operations, while the 50 motorcycles will be allocated with the following ratio: 23 to the Department of State Services, 10 to the Nigerian Army, 10 to the airport security team, and 7 to the vigilante group.

Buni directed the chairmen of the 17 local government areas to maintain the vehicles attached to Divisional Police Officers in their respective local government areas as well as provide them with fuel to facilitate their day-to-day operations.

Speaking earlier, the Special Adviser on Security Affairs to the Governor, Brig. Gen. Dahiru Abdusalam (rtd), commended Governor Mai Mala Buni for supporting security agencies in the state.

Gen. Abdusalam assured judicious use of the vehicles for the purpose intended to improve security across the state.
