He underscored the need for continuous cooperation between the Service and the military to tackle issues ranging from banditry to other issues of security concerns that threaten both the safety and economic stability of Kaduna State.

“We must work hand in hand not just to confront banditry, but to resolve the economic challenges intertwined with these security issues,” he stated.

In his own remarks, the GOC welcomed the new State Director of Security and his team highlighting the longstanding tradition of inter-agency cooperation within the Nigerian Army. He reiterated the Nigerian Army’s commitment to collaborating with other sister security agencies, including the State Security Services, to safeguard the lives of citizens not only within Kaduna State but throughout the Division’s Area of Responsibility.

“The Nigerian Army has always taken the lead in fostering cooperation with sister services and other security agencies. This partnership is crucial in addressing both kinetic and non-kinetic aspects of operations,” He said

He also extended his appreciation to the State Security Services for their consistent support, particularly in providing vital intelligence that has proven instrumental in both combat and non-combat security measures.
