Kaduna: Gov Sani promises bottom-up approach in addressing insecurity
Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State has expressed his commitment to a bottom-up approach towards addressing security challenges and strengthening the ongoing peace process in the state.
According to the governor, the present approach takes cognise of the peculiar problem of each local government, instead of a blanket approach to solving every problem.
The Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Dr James Kanyip, who made this known, said he had embarked on an assessment tour of the security situation in Kaduna State to hear directly from the people affected.
Speaking to newsmen, Kanyip explained that the tour was a shift towards a more direct community engagement in addressing security challenges, adding that the engagement covers Giwa and Igabi Local Government Areas.
The Commissioner stated that he aimed to gather first-hand information from communities affected by security concerns, so as to present it to Governor Uba Sani for prompt action.
Kanyip said, “this hands-on approach will enable me to understand local security dynamics. I feel that I should not be an armchair Commissioner who just waits for reports.”
“The initiative brings together a diverse group of stakeholders, including local government officials, traditional rulers, religious leaders, youth groups, and women’s organizations.”
He stressed that Kaduna State Government (KDSG) recognized the importance and role of local leaders and other stakeholders in building and sustaining peace, stressing that through the interactions, they would gather valuable information that would help them in tackling the challenges they were facing.
