SOKOTO — A member of the House of Representatives representing Kebbe/Tambuwal Federal Constituency of Sokoto State, Abdussamad Dasuki, has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to strengthen diplomatic and security relations with Niger Republic as part of efforts to address insecurity in Nigeria’s North-West region.
Dasuki made the call on Tuesday in Sokoto shortly after receiving an award from elders of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in recognition of his representation of the Kebbe/Tambuwal Federal Constituency.
The lawmaker said closer cooperation between Nigeria and Niger Republic could enhance efforts to combat cross-border crimes, including banditry, kidnapping, arms trafficking and terrorism.
According to him, the shared border between both countries makes collaboration essential for effective security operations and intelligence gathering.
