The Chairman of Kachia Local Government Council, Dr. Manzo Maigari, stated that the base will serve as a strategic point for swift military response and surveillance, and urged the community to provide local intelligence to security agencies.
The stakeholders lauded the governor for listening to the community’s pleas and working to address the security challenges.
