The Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni said the careful selection of new security Chiefs by President Bola Tinubu will get Nigeria closer to the end of its security challenges.

“As people from the frontline states, we commend the federal government and the security agencies for the tremendous achievements recorded in the states.

“We are optimistic that as active players who played key roles in the relative peace enjoyed in the states, the new service Chiefs would add value to bring the insecurity challenge to a total halt.
