Kwara's Multi-Faceted Security Strategy Unveiled Amid Military Study Tour

Date: 2025-05-07

The Kwara State Government is addressing security challenges through a comprehensive, multi-faceted strategy to mitigate emerging threats.

Professor Mamman Saba Jibril, Secretary to the State Government (SSG), revealed this approach during a welcome address to participants of Senior Course 47 of the Armed Forces Command and Staff College (Jaji), who are on a study tour of Kwara State.

Professor Jibril acknowledged Kwara's long-standing reputation as one of Nigeria's most peaceful states but cautioned: "We remain vigilant as the state is not immune to the growing security threats affecting other regions."

He disclosed that the state government was proactively deploying a range of strategies to address the security challenges.

"Here in Kwara, while we have enjoyed relative peace and stability, we are not exempted from emerging threats such as rural banditry, farmer-herder clashes, youth restiveness, and the infiltration of criminal elements into peri-urban areas," Saba stated.

The SSG explained that the state government's approach to security included strengthening community policing, investing in surveillance technology, fostering inter-agency collaboration, and mobilizing grassroots intelligence through traditional institutions and local stakeholders.

Prof. Saba urged the visiting team to make full use of available resources to gather valuable data that could contribute to addressing security challenges not only in Kwara but across the country.

Earlier, the Permanent Secretary, General Services, Alhaji Abdulganiyu Yita, assured the delegation of the state government's full support throughout their stay.

He noted that their presence offers a valuable opportunity for mutual learning, exchange of ideas, and a deeper appreciation of the strategic discipline the Nigerian Army is known for.

Responding, the team leader, Colonel U.H. Mohammed, stated that their mission was purely research-focused, with the hope that the team would have access to adequate data to enable them to develop actionable recommendations to enhance both state and national security.

He appreciated the state government for the warm reception extended to them since their arrival.
