Security Challenge Requires Holistic Approach – Sani Bello
Niger State Governor, Alhaji Abubakar Sani Bello on Tuesday stressed the need for an holistic approach to solving the country’s security challenges.
He insisted that security is everybody’s responsibility and should not be left to security agencies alone.
The governor gave this charge after the Eid prayers to mark the end of this year’s Ramandan fast at Bida Central Eid Praying ground in Bida, Bida Local Government area of the state.
Governor Sani Bello who congratulated Muslims in the country and beyond for successfully completing the Ramadan fast said the solution to the country’s security challenges requires imputs of all in order to profer enduring solutions.
He counselled Nigerians to be more security conscious at all time especially at this trying moment, so that efforts by federal and state governments as well as the security agencies at stemming the wave of insecurity can be sustained and the spate of insecurity brought under check.
“The security challenges confronting our country require holistic solution. The truth is, security is everybody’s responsibility. Everybody will have to be more security conscious at this critical period of our national life. We should not leave our security agents alone to look for solution,” Gov. Sani Bello advised.
