Nasir Idris Addresses Kebbi Security Improvements

Kebbi state governor Nasir Idris stated that his administration has consistently prioritized the protection of lives and property in the state. Speaking to internally displaced persons (IDPs) at the palace of the chief of Sakaba in Dirin-Daji, he criticized opposition politicians for using insecurity for political advantage, claiming they did not take action to address the issue during their time in power.

Governor Idris assured the IDPs that the government plans to resettle them back to their towns and villages soon to resume agricultural activities. He emphasized that his administration inherited security challenges but has made progress through coordinated efforts with security services.

He noted that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has established three additional Army formations in Kebbi and upgraded the 1 Battalion in Birnin Kebbi to a Brigade, along with deploying more military hardware, including Armoured Personnel Carriers (APCs) and Special Forces.
