On security, Senator Aliero explained:

“The security situation in Kebbi state is manageable, but in Kebbi South, due to proximity to Niger and Zamfara, we experience bandit infiltration that disrupts farming.

"Similarly, in Kebbi North, close to Sokoto East, bandits disturb our farmers, which is why we are concerned that more action is needed to clear them from these areas.

“Mr President has assured us that further steps will be taken to ensure the security of lives and property, not only in Kebbi but throughout Nigeria."
