Heads of federal establishments in Zamfara State have appealed for stronger collaboration with the military to improve public service delivery as security operations continue to gain ground in the region.
The appeal was made during a visit to the Headquarters of Operation FANSAN YAMMA, where the delegation met with the Theatre Commander, Warrah Idris.
Leader of the delegation, Bello Alhaji Muhammad, praised troops for their relentless efforts in tackling insecurity and restoring peace across Zamfara and neighbouring states.
He said the improved security situation has made it easier for government institutions to operate and deliver services to the people.
“It is in recognition of your immense efforts that we have come to identify with you and appreciate what you are doing,” he said.
Muhammad also outlined challenges facing federal agencies in the state and called for the military’s support in overcoming them.
In his response, Idris stressed that security remains the foundation for effective governance, warning that no meaningful development can take place in an unstable environment.
“No government function can operate optimally without security,” he said.
He urged the officials to support the military by providing credible intelligence and helping to counter misinformation.
“You are in a position to educate the public and project the efforts of our troops positively,” he added.
The Theatre Commander assured the delegation of the military’s continued commitment to protecting lives and property and supporting government institutions.
Highlights of the visit included the signing of the visitors’ register and presentation of souvenirs.
