By Shalom Oludele
Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, has said that the reports where he was alleged to have dismissed Governor Zulum’s security concerns, were false.
In a statement released on his X account on Wednesday, the minister clearly said at no time did he asked that Governor Zulum’s security concerns be ignored.
In his words: “Yes security is indeed improving in many parts of the country, even if acts of violence have not been completely eradicated. Security agencies are working round the clock to ensure that the situation in some parts of Borno state and others are brought under control.
“The synergy we have seen in the operations of security agencies especially in the last 2 years and the massive investment in hardware and other equipment indicates the seriousness of with which the Federal Govt attaches to this issue.
“The Tinubu administration is committed to eradicating acts of banditry and terrorism across the country. The successes achieved by the security agencies in the last 18 months is an indication that indeed Nigeria is gradually returning to normalcy.
“Government calls on all, especially the subnational governments, to join hands to ensure rapid eradication of the remaining pockets of criminal elements wherever they may be.”
Mohammed Idris called on all media platforms to be accurate and responsible in their reporting.
