Abdulrahman Dambazau, minister of
interior, says good governance is the solution to the security issues in
Zamfara state.
The state has been recording
cases of killings and banditry in recent times.
Last week, Abdulaziz Yari,
governor of Zamfara, said he is helpless over the security situation in the
state, describing his status as chief security officer (CSO) as a “mere
appellation”.
“We have been facing serious
security challenges over the years but in spite of being governor and chief
security officer of the state, I cannot direct security officers on what to do
nor sanction them when they err,” the governor had said.
Speaking at the opening of the
67th International Press Institute Congress in Abuja on Thursday, Dambazau said
it is bad governance for the governor to say he is withdrawing as chief
security officer.
“Good governance is the final
solution to the security challenges in Zamfara, it is not the number of
soldiers,” the minister said.
“It is not good governance for
the governor of Zamfara to say he is withdrawing as chief security officer.
“Even if he is given all the
soldiers in the world, he can’t use those forces to deal with those issues.”
Dambazau also said a situation
room has been established to monitor and check the influx of foreigners into
the country.
“The ministry of interior has
established a situation room that is connected to the border posts that will enable
effective monitoring of what is happening at our borders,” he said.
“I will also be able to see what
is happening from that situation room.”
