During the meeting, all attendees agreed to bring the security challenge to an end in order to restore back the peace the LGA was known for.
The GOC charged the stakeholders to welcome him with a special gift by ensuring that no security breach, in whatever form, is recorded again from then on.
The statement said, while expressing his feelings about the outcome of the meeting, Hon. Sani (Golden) expressed optimism that with the sincerity of purpose and genuine signs exhibited by those who spoke, he could see the security challenge coming to an end very soon.
The meeting was coordinated by the Transition Committee Chairman, Mangu LGA, Mr. Markus Artu. Other stakeholders who were in attendance include leaders of MDA, Miyetti Allah, CAN JNI, heads of security agencies in the LGA and traditional rulers.
