In his remark, Governor Dauda Lawal commended the Chief of Defence Staff for showing commitment to tackling insecurity in the country.
“This visit is something we would never take for granted. My government is fully committed to cooperating with the army and other security agencies in Zamfara State.
“With your comment, I am optimistic that peace will return to Zamfara. You went to school here, and you have witnessed its peaceful nature in the past. Gusau used to be the second largest commercial centre in the North after Kano State.
“We are fully supportive of the Army’s efforts in the fight against banditry. The guards have been deployed to their local areas, where they are familiar with the terrain. We have complete confidence in the army’s dedication and believe they will continue to intensify their efforts.
“I would like to use this opportunity to express my condolences for the loss of the brave officers who tragically lost their lives along the Gusau to Funtua road. May their souls rest in peace”

“We are here to express our appreciation for your commitment to the Armed Forces and security agencies as well as your valuable contributions to Zamfara state.
“I used to boast that I knew Gusau quite well, but honestly, now that I am here, I am confused. It’s remarkable to see how much development has taken place in just one year under your leadership. I want to say thank you for improving the lives of the people. This is the benefit of democracy. We have witnessed a lot of developments and ongoing constructions in the state since you took over.”

Oil theft: Continue onslaught against criminal networks – HURIWA to NNPCL, military
The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, HURIWA, has noted that oil theft syndicates and criminal networks have long diverted Nigeria’s valuable natural resources, affecting the nation’s economic stability.
The group said this while praising the intensified efforts of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL, in tackling crude oil theft and pipeline vandalism, particularly in the Niger Delta.
HURIWA emphasized that the collaboration between the NNPCL, the military and the Police demonstrates a strong commitment to safeguarding Nigeria’s oil infrastructure, a critical asset to the nation’s economy.
At a press conference in Abuja, HURIWA’s National Coordinator, Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko, commended the coordinated approach adopted by security agencies, stressing that such collaboration with the NNPCL is essential in curbing the widespread theft of Nigeria’s crude oil.
Onwubiko said it was important that the NNPCL was partnering various security agencies, including the Nigerian Army, Navy, Police, and Department of State Services (DSS), in targeting and dismantling high-profile oil theft syndicates.
“These criminal networks, have long diverted Nigeria’s valuable natural resources, affecting the nation’s economic stability,” the rights group noted..
“The leadership of Mele Kyari at the NNPCL has resulted in renewed efforts to combat oil theft, prioritizing the protection of Nigeria’s hydrocarbon resources.
“Kyari has acknowledged the critical role of security personnel in protecting vital oil infrastructure,” the association, added, urging sustained cooperation between the NNPCL and the military to protect the nation’s oil assets.
“Crude oil theft directly undermines Nigeria’s economic stability,” HURIWA said while calling on Nigerians, particularly civil society organizations, to support the fight against oil thieves.
The association also called for the prosecution of arrested suspects, insisting that they be treated as economic saboteurs and given stiff sentences to deter further criminal activity.
The association commended the Nigerian military under the leadership of Chief of Defence Staff General Christopher Musa for its commitment to deploying both land and maritime forces to secure oil-producing regions in the Niger Delta.
“This multi-faceted approach, in collaboration with the NNPCL, has yielded significant results. Recent operations have uncovered numerous illegal crude oil connections, destroyed illegal refineries, and resulted in the arrest of suspects involved in oil theft.”
