The Minister emphasized that a multifaceted approach is required to combat insecurity in the FCT, and his administration is actively implementing measures to defeat criminal activities.
In addition to addressing open grazing, the Minister highlighted the intensified partnership with private sector transportation players to bolster security in the city.
This collaboration aims to create a safer environment for residents and visitors alike.
Ambassador Daniel Bertrand expressed satisfaction upon learning about the Minister’s efforts to combat open grazing.
