Bauchi State Governor, Sen. Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed, has called for support and synergy by the officers and Men of the Special Operations Command (SOC) of the Nigerian Air Force (NAF), Bauchi, in the fight against insecurity in Bauchi State.
Bala Mohammed also praised the Nigerian Air Force for its role in ensuring relative peace and security in the state and Nigeria as a whole.
He was speaking when the Air Officer Commanding (AOC) of the Special Operations Command, AVM EE Effiong, visited him in his Office at the Government House on Thursday.
The Governor said that constant monitoring of the troops will greatly help to minimise the activities of bandits and kidnappers terrorising various communities across the state.
Bala Mohammed identified some flashpoints in the state, including Ningi, Toro, Alkaleri, and other local government areas, asking the Nigerian Air Force to intensify efforts in providing air surveillance to contain the security challenges there.
According to him, “We are a workers’ state, and our people are farmers, and they need to go to the farm, and we will provide you with all the necessary support to face the security challenges.”
Air Officer Commanding the Nigerian Air Force Special Operations Command Bauchi, Air Vice Marshal E Effiong, had earlier said that the purpose of the visit was to formally introduce himself as the Air Operations Commanding Officer of the Nigerian Air Force.
He appreciated the Governor’s support for the Nigerian Air Force and other security agencies operating in the country and pledged the partnership of the state government in achieving success.
According to him, “Your Excellency, you can count on our support when it comes to security issues; we are always ready to support you and your administration.”
