The governor's position was conveyed by the Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Dr. Sule Shu’aibu (SAN), during the Kaduna State Security Sector Stakeholders Engagement organised by the Headquarters 1 Division Nigerian Army, Sector I Joint Task Force Operation Fansan Yamma.

The stakeholders' engagement, themed "Joint Action for a Safe Environment: Security Agencies and Communities Working Together," brought together security personnel, government officials, traditional leaders and community representatives to deliberate on emerging security challenges, particularly those associated with the rainy season.

He noted that security is a shared responsibility that requires active participation from all stakeholders, adding that effective intelligence gathering and timely information sharing remain critical in addressing criminal activities and preventing conflicts.

According to him, the Kaduna State Government will continue to support initiatives that promote peaceful coexistence, strengthen community resilience and enhance cooperation between citizens and security agencies.

He further assured residents of the administration's unwavering commitment to protecting lives and property while sustaining ongoing efforts aimed at maintaining peace and stability across all parts of the state.
