Speaking before the Senate Committee on Defence, Mattawlle stated that state, local, and federal governments needed to work together to address the issue of insecurity.
“I know what I have gone through on the issue of insecurity, particularly banditry, which is new to us in the North-West,” he stated, having previously served as governor of Zamfara.
Although Boko Haram is not a new problem in the Northeast or in our system, it was not given the serious attention it needed due to events during the previous administration.
“Operations and measures are being initiated against these offenders now. For Nigerians, the federal government, state governments, and local governments must work together on the security issue.
“We require important insecurity-related laws. It is progressively declining, and to bolster the fight against insecurity, we recently acquired two attack helicopters.
