We Will End Insecurity In 2024 – FG

The Minister of State for Defence, Dr Bello Matawalle, has vowed that the Federal Government would end insecurity by 2024.

This was as he called on Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal, to seek the cooperation of security agencies and the Federal Government, to triumph in the fight against insecurity.

Matawalle stated this in an interview with BBC Hausa.

He said the FG recognised the security challenges confronting the nation.

Matawalle expressed optimism that actions taken by the Federal Government to prevent insecurity would aid in solving the attacks by gunmen.

The minister further stressed that state governors faced with insecurity dilemmas are working with the federal government to overcome the challenge.

Matawalle while stressing that the Federal Government is taking steps to fight gunmen, said, “If God willing, from now until 2024, all other security problems will be overcome.

“The governor of Zamfara state has never contacted me and Badaru or asked to meet with us on the security problem of his state.

“Therefore, I am calling on my governor to seek the cooperation of the security forces and the Federal Government because he cannot do the job alone.

“He should not mind what is between me and him, he should mind the people of Zamfara State. Put aside all politics and let unite to find a solution for the state.”
