Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi State, Nigeria - August 26, 2025(Series News Online)
The Kebbi State Government has commended the bravery and dedication of security personnel in the ongoing campaign against banditry and lawlessness in the state. Governor Nasir Idris expressed his administration's appreciation for the security agencies' efforts during a high-level security gathering with top officials from federal and state security outfits.
The Governor emphasized the importance of regular security meetings in assessing the state's security situation and reiterated the agencies' commitment to their duties. "We are deeply appreciative of the tireless efforts of our security services in ensuring Kebbi remains a safe and secure environment, particularly in areas that have faced security challenges in the past," Governor Idris said.
He pointed out that Kebbi's geographical location, sharing borders with the Republics of Benin and Niger, presents unique security challenges. "Criminals often attempt to exploit our borders to launch attacks. However, our security agencies have been proactive in identifying and blocking their entry points," the Governor noted.
The security chiefs present at the meeting offered strategic recommendations to further enhance security in the state, which the Governor pledged to implement. "The Kebbi State Government will continue to provide the necessary support to our security agencies to enable them to maintain the momentum in the fight against insecurity," he assured.
Governor Idris also emphasized the need for collective responsibility in ensuring the state's security, involving not just the Federal Government but also state and local governments. "As the people being protected reside in our states and local communities, it is imperative that we all play our part in supporting our security agencies. I am pleased to report that our security services are doing an excellent job in keeping our state safe," he stated.
The high-level security meeting was attended by heads of various security agencies, including the Nigerian Army, Air Force, Police, NSCDC, DSS, Customs, Immigration, Correctional Service, NDLEA, FRSC, and the Vigilante service.
