FG’s Security Strategy Delivering Results, Says APC Chairman’s Aide

A Senior Special Assistant on Media to the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Yusuf Dingyadi, says the Federal Government’s deployment of advanced security equipment and the adoption of non-military strategies are beginning to improve security in parts of the country, particularly the North-West.

In a statement issued on Monday, Dingyadi acknowledged that insecurity remains one of Nigeria’s biggest challenges but said recent government interventions have started producing encouraging results.

He noted that security operations have been intensified in states including Zamfara, Kaduna, Katsina, Kebbi and Sokoto, where banditry and other violent crimes have posed significant threats in recent years.

According to him, the combined efforts of security agencies and the use of modern technology have helped reduce attacks in several vulnerable communities, while authorities remain committed to protecting lives and property nationwide.

Dingyadi, however, warned that the activities of informants, inadequate coordination among security agencies and the politicisation of security matters continue to hinder progress. He urged stakeholders to work together to strengthen ongoing efforts against terrorism, banditry and other criminal activities.

The APC media aide also commended the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, for his role in supporting security operations, describing him as committed to improving safety across the country.

He called on Nigerians and opposition parties to support security personnel, saying public cooperation and national unity are essential to sustaining the fight against insecurity.

Dingyadi further appealed to state governments to complement federal efforts by improving governance, ensuring fairness and expanding access to essential social services, which he said are important for addressing the root causes of insecurity.
