Insecurity: Sokoto Government procures Surveillance Equipment for DSS

The Sokoto State Government has assured the state command of the State Security Service SSS that it will soon take possession of a surveillance equipment to facilitate its operations in bandit-prone areas and criminal hideouts.

 
Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal made this known when he attended the presentation of long service awards to operatives of the SSS by the Director General of the Service in the state at the command’s precinct in the state’s capital.

 
In a statement by Tambuwal’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Muhammad Bello, he appealed to the federal government to improve on the welfare and wellbeing of our security personnel.

 
“SPZ machine is on its way and we will continue to reach out to agencies of the Federal Government and leadership of organizations and even those of individuals that can support the Services, so that we can continue to support you.

 
“We don’t have to procure the equipment ourselves.

The procurement can be done by you.

We can process it and have all the equipment that you require to enhance and improve the Services.

 
“We will not rest.

We are not tired.

There was hardly anytime we were approached by the Service or any security service in the state requesting for our help that we disappointed them.

Your government, the government of Sokoto state, has been doing everything humanly possible to support these services,” Governor Tambuwal said.

 
He reiterated that government’s commitment to the welfare and work conditions of security operatives “is not too much but very high and heavy,” the Governor offered that “we cannot do anything without a safe and secure Nigeria.


 
“That being the case, those at the frontline should receive every attention that they deserve,” he added.

 
He also commended the top management of the SSS for the awards initiative, “which is clearly aimed at inspiring members of the Service to do more.

Appreciating those who have done well will naturally elicit those in the Service to achieve more and become even more committed.

 
“What you do for us is very important and must not be taken for granted.

So, on behalf of people of Sokoto state I commend members of this Service and other security services in the state for all of their efforts over the years, particularly in the last five years that have been very troubling and trying moments in the history of this state.

 
“We have not had, since the advent of modern Sokoto state, a period that has witnessed lots of security challenges like the last five years.

And members of this Service of this Command have been deeply involved in doing their best and giving their lives, making all the sacrifices for us to stem the tide, along with other security services in the state.

 
“I commend the synergy between all the services in the state,” he stated.

 
He commended the state Director of SSS, Alhaji Yahaya Hassan for his relentless efforts in discharging his constitutional mandate.

 
Governor Tambuwal called on the operatives to dedicate more time to their families at the slightest opportunity they have and pray for God’s guidance in their lives.
