The Governor of Kaduna State, Uba Sani has commended the Armed Forces of Nigeria (AFN) for their immense support to the state while calling for more support to boost security in Kaduna and its environs.

The Governor who gave the commendation when he paid a courtesy call to the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Major General Christopher Musa at the Defence Headquarters, Abuja said; “Kaduna state is the heart of Northern Nigeria which needs relative peace and harmony to strive. The state is willing to support the AFN with local intelligence and any other necessary assistance to enable the Military to discharge its constitutional responsibilities unhindered.

The CDS in his response, thanked the Governor as the first to visit following his appointment.

Major General Musa assured the governor of the AFN commitment to supporting all parts of Nigeria, especially Kaduna state to combat insecurity.

According to the Defence Chief, the AFN is looking at reviewing its operational modalities with the view to enhancing capabilities for a better result.

Kinetic and non-kinetic approach to our operations will be strengthened to boost the fight against criminality in the country.” 

Major General Musa also stressed the need for youths’ engagement in meaningful activities in order to reduce crime.

He, therefore, called on the media to always promote love and unity in their reports.

The CDS however, noted that one of the challenges facing the Military in the discharge of its duties is the administrative bottlenecks involved in the dispensation of judicial cases involving criminals handed over to the civil authority for prosecution.
