Speaking on recent security concerns, the governor emphasized that while Zamfara, like many parts of Nigeria, faces challenges, the situation has been largely misrepresented. He noted that such narratives not only undermine the ongoing efforts of security agencies but also discourage investment and development in the state. Governor Lawal assured residents that his administration is working closely with security agencies to restore lasting peace and protect communities across Zamfara. He further urged the media and the public to verify facts before spreading alarming stories that could worsen public fear. He said: “Yes, we have challenges, but most of what is being said about insecurity in Zamfara is not true. We are making progress with the support of security agencies, and the situation is far better than it is being portrayed.” The governor called for collective support from traditional rulers, community leaders, and citizens to complement government efforts in addressing security challenges and rebuilding trust within affected communities. #ZamfaraState #GovernorLawal #Insecurity #PeaceAndSecurity #NigeriaNews #BreakingNews
