THE Yobe State governor, Ibrahim Gaidam on
Wednesday reiterated the need for security agents and the Defence Headquarters
in particular to reconsider the restoration of GSM services in the state.
The governor made the call when he received
the Chief of Defence Staff, Admiral Ola Sa’ad, who was in the state to
sympathise with the government over the recent attack on students of GSS
Mamudo, where 22 students and a teacher were killed by yet to be identified
gunmen.
The governor pointed out that the people of
the state are presently willing to divulge useful information to security agents
but lack of GSM service is thwarting their efforts in the quest for lasting
peace.
Gaidam appreciated the visit and praised
security forces and the Joint Task Force, in particular, for the current peace
enjoyed in the state.
The governor also charged them to change their
mode of operation in tackling the incessant attacks in the state and the nation
as a whole.
He said his administration will continue to
accord the needed support to security agents in the conduct of their civic
responsibility.
The Chief of Defence Staff represented by
Chief of Research and Development, Defence Headquarters, Major General Ariahu
assured Nigerians and people of Yobe State in particular that “the Nigerian
Army is fully committed towards bringing to end the security challenges facing
the country.”
He said the Defence Headquarters was saddened
with the shocking news of the attack, pointing out that they are working hard
to provide maximum security to the people.
The Chief of Defence
Staff also said his entourage is in the state to see things for themselves and
proffer lasting solutions to the problem through enhanced security strategies.
