Security agencies and representatives of government institutions at the conference
The Director-General of the Department of State Services, Oluwatosin Ajayi, has called for stronger collaboration among security agencies, government institutions and communities to tackle terrorism, banditry and other criminal activities in the North-West.
Ajayi made the call in Katsina on Thursday at the second North-West Zonal Conference of State Directors of Security, organised by the DSS with the theme, “Unite Against Terror.”
The DSS boss, who was represented by the Chairman, North-West Forum of State Directors of Security and Kano State Director of Security, Husseini Abubakar, said the conference provided an opportunity for security stakeholders to review the evolving security situation in the region, share operational experiences and develop effective strategies to contain terrorism and banditry.
According to him, “This edition of the Northwest SDSS Conference gives us another opportunity to compare notes, share experiences, assess evolving and endemic security challenges, particularly the threat of banditry, and devise appropriate containment strategies in the effort to secure our communities.”
