Governor Bello Matawalle of Zamfara state said Wednesday that the new security roadmap adopted by federal and state governments to secure northern part of the country is yielding positive results.
Addressing State House correspondents after a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, the governor said peace and stability are gradually returning to the region.
The governor assured farmers that they would be able to cultivate their farms this raining season as security would continue to improve.
He said security agents are working hard to ensure that security challenges in the region and other parts of the country are addressed.
Asked if it was safe to say that security had finally found its way back to the north, the governor said: “I can say yes because in the past four months we didn’t have much of this crisis, but it’s gradually coming back, but the security are doing their best now, particularly from the new security architecture that we have adopted now, we are having some improvements on the challenges.
“With action and the roadmap that we have drawn, between the government and the security, we are doing our best to make sure that farmers will go back to their farms and they will be able to farm, insha Allah. We will do our best to make sure that all farmers will go back to their farms.”
