Sani noted that the best way to tackle the menace of banditry and kidnapping bedeviling the northwest region of the country was through "the entrenchment of good governance."
As reported by Leadership, the governor made this assertion at the Sir Kashim Ibrahim Government House, Kaduna, on Monday, February 5 while receiving members of the Kaduna State Elders Forum, who paid him a congratulatory visit over his recent legal victory at the Supreme Court.
Sani said his government was also adopting good governance as the best non-kinetic solution to the security challenges, Premium Times reported.
He also acknowledged the ongoing military actions against banditry, with the Defence Headquarters supporting the establishment of two Forward Operation Bases (FOBs) in key locations.
The governor stressed that a holistic approach, including educational reforms, support for farmers, and increased productivity, is essential for eradicating poverty and insecurity in the region.
“If we don’t look at the area of good governance, we will never end the problem of insecurity in the Northern Nigeria in particular,” Sani said.
