This is commendable and a show of commitment from the Minister\u2019s side.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cZamfara is facing many security challenges but as a responsible government, we are all out to seek assistance, synergy and cooperation. We are committed to providing all assistance to the troops.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are taking this fight to the bandits because we won\u2019t continue to remain on the defensive. What I have seen so far suggests that the banditry issue will become history, God willing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have made commitments to the Minister. In addition, I have procured 10 bulletproof buffalo gun trucks for the Military. Other logistics are also in place and will be made available to the security forces to aid them in fighting banditry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we could address the banditry challenges in Zamfara, 90 per cent of the problem would be solved.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI appeal to the troops, especially the military, that we need them. I am confident they have what it takes to finish this fight.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am committed and I am with you. I thank you all, especially the Honourable Minister for creating time to be with us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, The Minister said the successes of the ongoing operation against bandits are linked to the continued support of Governor Lawal\u2019s administration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have started to see improvement, thanks to the support of His Excellency, the Governor of Zamfara State.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe provided accommodation for the command, logistics, long-distance surveillance cameras, vehicles and fuel.
