Zakari Mohammed, the director of the National Orientation Agency in Taraba, has said the degrading of Boko Haram and ISWAP terrorists was achieved through the enhanced security funding by President Bola Tinubu’s present administration.

Mr Mohammed said this on Thursday at a town hall meeting in Jalingo.

He said the security issue was a major priority to the administration, adding that it was visible by providing security kits and hardware.

He said the recognition of vigilante and hunter’s union was a pointer that state police was a priority of the administration.

The NOA chief outlined issues of national concern, including HIV/AIDS, human rights, shunning get-rich-quick syndrome, security consciousness and tax reform bills.

He encouraged the stakeholders to sensitise citizens within their domain on the government’s commitment to ensuring that life was comfortable for the citizenry.

In his goodwill message, Taraba’s police commissioner, Peter Opara, advised citizens to relate well with the police.

The stakeholders were drawn from security and paramilitary agencies, religious and traditional leaders, civil society groups, the media, and the National Human Rights Commission.
