The Kano State Governor Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf has appealed to the Security Agencies to dig out the roots of those behind serious problems of insecurity in Nigeria, to mitigate its impact and bring total peace to citizens.

Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, said, “I challenge you to use intelligence data gathering to locate the whereabouts of those perpetrating the crimes, are they Politicians, Traditional Leaders, Religious or Business Community, do more to unravel those sponsoring and conducting attacks on innocent lives for the Country to be peaceful”.

The convener of the program, and who is the State DSS Director in Kano, Alhassan Muhammad, said the 14h Quarterly Conference of the State Directors of Security (SDSes), Northwest Geopolitical Zone, was an initiative of the Director General State Services, DGSS, Yusuf Magaji BICHI.

He said the conference is intended to, among other things, facilitate operational and intelligence-sharing synergy among State SSS Directors across the geo-political zones in the Country.

“It therefore serves as a platform for them to come together to exchange knowledge, share insights, and explore innovative solutions to address the myriad of security challenges prevalent in the zone.

Alhassan Muhammad noted that in today’s rapidly evolving world, security concerns have become increasingly complex and multifaceted, from cybersecurity threats to physical security challenges, from terrorism to armed banditry, from farmers/herders’ clashes to youth restiveness, environmental tensions, intra/inter political party disputes.
