Presenting the keys on behalf of Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya (Dan Majen Gombe), the Security Adviser to the Governor, Alhaji Abubakar Aminu Musa, reiterated the administration’s unwavering commitment to strengthening security infrastructure in the state.
“The Governor believes that effective security begins with equipping agencies with the right tools and environment.
