 Governor Bahsani today met with heads of security agencies to articulate a new approach to tackle Kaduna bandits and other criminals. The governor told journalists shortly after the close-door meeting in Kaduna that his major concerns remain the safety and welfare of the people. One of the most important agendas in our manifesto is the safety of our citizens. And that is the reason why we believe it is very important to look at the security solutions in Kaduna states. Now, and I'm quite impressed by the effort of all the security agencies in Kaduna State, the police, the DSS, the Army, the Air Force, the Navy and all the security heads. They've been doing very well and I'm also happy with the level of their coordination. So, so far so good. We have looked at the situation generally as it affects the citizen. And of course, like I said, we are going to attend the moment. We support them. But one of the most important area, of course, is trying to engage the general public because we believe security is a role of every citizen of the state. As part of our efforts to enhance mutual trust and community-based engagement between security agencies and local communities to end conflict and crisis in Kaduna State, the global peace development and international alert have engaged traditional leaders, security agencies and critical stakeholders on civil and human rights standards. Increase enforcement of human rights standard in policing, which will support in the review and reform of some of the security agencies, policies, plans and program. Part of the rationale for this joint workshop is to improve security agencies community engagement strategy, build relationship with the communities, build capacity of security personnel for improved civil approaches to human security and protections of civilian. From the statistics we've gotten in these few days in the field, we found that insecurity is persistent and it's caught across many elements, drug use, rape and all other elements of security including banditry and as well kidnapping. So for me, we have been able to bridge the gap particularly in the planning process where coordination and the engagement between the civil society which is international alert and global peace and on the Government Particular Peace Commission whom the security agency is well created and so with that synergy created, we'll be able to get more information that we can use to stabilize the conflict. Security agents present the early warning said that early warning sign is a good approach to reducing conflict in the society. Also speaking, the village head of Maraban Redo in Chikung Local Government, Aotar Ganyi said the workshop was timely and apt. Always good to observe the early warning signal so that we'll be able to tackle crisis, even in your family. If you see your child moving around with bad friends, if you tackle it on time, it will save you a lot. If you allow him, the next thing, India him smoking, the next thing, cultism, the next thing, amroba. Get this out of what I'm saying. In even this early warning signal start from the home to the larger community is about us looking holistically about the crisis that is prone in Kaduna and in Zamfara state and the ways that all of us, when we join forces, we should be able to meet the crisis on the board. And by this contribution of India, contribution of police, civil defense, the military, the civil societies and every other person. Sometimes we cannot sleep because of a kidnapping issue. But we thank because security agents, something like a police and soldiers, they are giving us support, most especially government help us with an outpost there and that outpost they are helping.
