The governor on Tuesday, October 6, revealed to the Nigerian Army new ways it can sustain its victory over insurgency not only in the state but throughout the northeast region.
Zulum advised the armed forces to embark on intelligence sharing and confidence-building among themselves to form a formidable unit against the terrorists.

He also called on the Nigerian Army to take its raids to all hideouts of the insurgents.
His words:
“The Nigerian Army must, therefore, take the war to all the hideouts of the Boko Haram Camp and surely should not wait and give the insurgents the opportunity of first attack.
“Ladies and Gentlemen the Nigerian Army must also embark on confidence-building and confidence sharing mechanism with communities and civil authorities.”
