“We are using the security summit to achieve the aim of solutions to the security challenges confronting the state, hence, the need to harness ideas from stakeholders towards finding solutions to the emergent security challenges by relating with communities and stakeholders across the state.

The commissioner admitted that there are challenges, such as manpower, vehicular and logistics, but, “even if we have a million police personnel, it cannot solve the problem, hence, we just have to collaborate with the communities to achieve the desired results.”
