“NSSF expressed full support for the Niger State governor, Hon. Muhammad Umaru Bago, in his infrastructural development strides and also efforts to ensure adequate security of lives and properties in the state.

“The committee notes that recently, Governor Bago took enhanced security measures with the aim of improving public order and safety.

“The NSSF notes that Minna, once a city of peace and harmony, had been plagued by fear due to the activities of street thugs and miscreants. It therefore hailed Governor Bago for taking decisive action to restore the state’s capital to its former glory.

“Very soon the forum would unveil plans for constructive engagements with both the Federal and State Governments and non-governmental organisations regarding the actualisation of some of the critical projects and programmes in our Zone and Niger State at large.”
