Gov. Mai Mala Buni of Yobe has presented 20 additional operational vehicles to security agencies in the state.
He made the presentation in Damaturu on Thursday, while inaugurating the state’s Security Planning and Coordination Group.
The governor said that the vehicles would enhance the capacity of security agents to fight crime across the state.
He added that “we have procured additional 20 Toyota Land Cruiser (Sansar) vehicles at this strategic period of cropping season to enhance the operational capability of security agencies in providing adequate and timely security to our farmers in some soft targets, especially along the borders.
“I wish to enjoin the security operatives to make good use of these vehicles strictly for the purposes intended with a good culture of maintenance.”
Buni said the group was formed to ensure synergy among security agencies in the state for improved service delivery.
He said it was mandated to come up with “inclusive framework for all stakeholders to support a timely, coordinated and effective transition from stabilisation, medium and longer-term recovery, to peace-building and development processes.” (NAN).
