Uba said the governors were not only concerned about nipping the new terror group in the bud but also putting to an end the security challenges bedevilling the entire country.
The governor said, “We all face various security challenges, but we are working closely with the relevant security agencies. We are very confident that it is a matter of time. All these issues will be over.”
