Speaking during a recent engagement with stakeholders, the governor stressed that ensuring the protection of lives and property remains a top priority for his government.
He noted that no meaningful development can take place in an environment plagued by insecurity, adding that peace and stability are essential for economic growth and social progress.
Yusuf highlighted ongoing efforts by his administration to strengthen collaboration with security agencies, including the police, military, and other relevant bodies operating within the state.
According to him, the government is investing in logistics, intelligence gathering, and community-based security initiatives to enhance the effectiveness of security operations.
The governor also emphasized the importance of community participation, urging residents to support security agencies by providing timely and credible information.
He said that security is a collective responsibility and called on traditional leaders, religious institutions, and youth groups to play active roles in maintaining peace.
In addition, Yusuf assured citizens that the state government would continue to implement policies aimed at addressing the root causes of insecurity, including unemployment and social inequality.
