Northern Governors Urge Ag. IG To Adopt Proactive Security Measures

The Northern Governors Forum has urged the Acting Inspector
General (IG) of Police, Usman Baba, to take proactive measures in
tackling crimes in the country.

The Chairman of the forum, Simon Lalong, made the call in a
congratulatory message to the acting IG by his Director of Press
and Public Affairs Dr. Makut Macham, on Saturday in Jos.

The Plateau Governor said the forum would give Baba all the
necessary support to enable him to provide the leadership needed
for implementing proactive policing for the safety of lives and
property.

He said Baba’s appointment by President Muhammadu Buhari was
well deserved, considering his track record of diligent service to
the nation, across various police formations in the country.

He said: “As northern governors, we remain committed to
community policing and any other measure that will lead to securing
our region which has been bedeviled by different forms of
insecurity.

“We must work together to adopt new measures that will enable us
to overcome these challenges and remain on top of the situation by
preventing criminals from carrying out their nefarious
activities.”

Lalong said the forum was particularly concerned that many
farmers in the region were discouraged from cultivating their farms
because of criminal activities.
The forum’s chairman urged the police boss to bring an end to
banditary, kidnapping and insurgency in the country.

He wished Baba a successful tenure and called on Nigerians to
support him and the entire security architecture of the country for
a more secured nation. (NAN)
