He praised the strong participation and dedication of personnel, highlighting that no single agency can combat threats alone.

The event saw the participation of key security officials, including the state Commandant of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Idris Bande, and the Comptroller of the Nigeria Immigration Service, Ibrahim Mohammed as well as senior officers and personnel from various security agencies in the state.
The joint exercise underscores the commitment of security agencies in the state to strengthening their operational synergy and ensure sustained peace and stability in the state.
