Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State has pledged enhanced support to security operatives in the state to improve their performance and ensure a secure environment.
The Governor made this commitment in a statement issued by his media aide, Mamman Mohammed, during a ceremony in his office.
The occasion marked the presentation of an award to Operation Haba Maza, the state’s security outfit, which was recognized as the best police patrol unit in Nigeria by the Nigeria Police Force.

He also requested additional vehicles to improve logistical support for effective patrols throughout the state.
