“Our ongoing operations have recorded substantial seizures in various locations, including the North-West borders in the Sokoto-Kebbi axis, the South-West borders around the Seme-Badagry and Idiroko axis, and the southern borders in Cross River and Akwa Ibom states,” he said.
“I am pleased to announce that in this latest phase of Operation Whirlwind, we have seized two lorries carrying smuggled petroleum products, 1,046 kegs filled with PMS, and 12 drums of petroleum products. Additionally, one suspect has been apprehended in connection with these smuggling activities.”
He warned those engaged in illicit activities, saying the full force of the law will be brought to bear on anyone caught smuggling our nation’s resources, urging all Nigerians, particularly residents of Adamawa and other border states, to support the operation.
“Your vigilance and cooperation are crucial in our collective efforts to safeguard our nation’s resources and ensure that the benefits of fuel price deregulation are fully realised by all Nigerians,” he added.

Ahemba explained that the action was in compliance with the decision of the Supreme Court granting financial autonomy to the 774 LGAs in the country.
He further said that the Sule-led administration is law-abiding, adding that the move would enable the LGAs to attain more developmental strides.
“The governor is one of the accountable and transparent leaders in the country who believes in the rule of law and has nothing to hide.
“This suggests the move to do away with the hitherto existing joint account,” he added.

“The government is ready to begin discussions on the new minimum wage now that the promotions has been successfully implemented,” he added.
