Governor Dauda Lawal has renewed the Zamfara state government commitment to security agencies in stamping out banditry across the state. 

The governor revealed this when he received the Air Component Commander for Operation HADARIN DAJI, Air Commodore J. I Jibiya, at the Government House in Gusau, at the weekend. 

He said the visit provided an opportunity to discuss how to align Air Power Doctrines with the operational realities of Zamfara State.

“I must reiterate that the zeal and commitment of the Commandant raise my hopes, especially as he emphasised applying Joint Terminal Attack Controller and Air-to-Ground Integration Exercises to the front lines, which aligns with the Chief of the Air Staff Command Philosophy of delivering decisive airpower effects to realise national security objectives,” Governor Lawal said. 

He said, “My administration is committed to ensuring that all necessary support for the troops is provided.”
