The Chief of Staff (CoS) to Governor Abubakar Sani Bello, Alh. Ibrahim Balarabe has disclosed that the state government was doing all it can to end security challenges bedevilling parts of the state.
Balarabe made this known at an event in his honour, organized by youth groups in Minna, through the office of the Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to the Governor on Political Mobilization, Comrade Faruk Musa Muhammad.
The CoS said that the size of the state and shortage of manpower has been the major problem hindering efforts towards ending terrorism being perpetrated in the state.
Alh. Balarabe added that the state government had countless times visited the President and the Service Chiefs toward ending the security challenges.
He decried the situation where the same people giving information to security agencies served as informant to terrorists.
The CoS maintained as government they were doing their best to meet up with their responsibilities, adding that posterity will place them where they belong when they might have left office.
He commended the organizers of the event for honouring him and urged them to utilize any opportunity given to them to serve, pointing out that the patience was needed to build up themselves.
The Senior Special Assistant(SSA), Political Mobilisation to the governor, Comrade Faruk Musa Muhammad explained that the event was put together in recognition of the contribution of the Chief of Staff towards the success of the present administration and for identifying with them.
