NEWSDAILYNIGERIA: The Governor of Kaduna State, Senator Uba Sani, has applauded troops of the Nigerian Army for their gallant efforts towards degrading and eliminating criminal elements in Kaduna State.

A statement by the Chief Press Secretary, Muhammad Lawal Shehu, on Thursday, said Governor Sani, particularly lauded the bravery of the troops in flushing out bandits from their hideouts in Kagarko-Iche, Takalafiya, Gidan Makeri and Jangala communities in Kagarko Local Government Area, Kaduna State. The successes so far recorded have been attributed to increased surveillance and coordinated action of security forces.

A visibly elated Governor Sani therefore reiterated the resolve of his administration to forge partnerships with security forces to tackle the current and emerging security threats in Kaduna and its surrounding areas. The increased cooperation between the Kaduna State Government and security forces is already paying off. The massive deployment of troops to troubled areas around Kaduna State has led to a steady decline in banditry, kidnapping and other forms of crime and the resumption of economic activities.

Since resumption of office as the elected Governor of Kaduna State, His Excellency, Senator Sani has held separate meetings with the newly appointed service chiefs namely: Chief of Defence Staff Major General Christopher Musa, Chief of Army Staff Major General Taoreed Lagbaja and Chief of Air Staff Air Vice Marshal Hassan Abubakar.

The meetings with the service chiefs featured robust discussions on the need to consolidate successes recorded in the fight against insecurity. The Governor also pledged maximum cooperation and support of the Kaduna State Government.
