The Nigeria Governors’ Forum, led by Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, has opened fresh security consultations with federal security chiefs in Abuja as states seek stronger protection for lives, farms, markets, and transport routes. The discussions reflect growing pressure on governors to coordinate more effectively with national agencies in tackling banditry, cross-border crime, and disruptions that weaken local economies across regions.
The talks are centred on better intelligence sharing between state-supported vigilance outfits and federal military, police, and security formations. By improving communication across interstate roads, farming belts, and rural processing centres, the forum aims to reduce criminal activity, protect harvest movement, stop illegal levies, and give traders and smallholder farmers a safer operating environment ahead of key production cycles nationwide.
Governor AbdulRazaq said no state can sustain economic growth where communities, commuters, and food supply routes remain exposed to insecurity. State security advisers are expected to compile more detailed local risk maps, allowing federal deployments and community-level support systems to respond faster to seasonal threats, border vulnerabilities, and criminal patterns that often cut across several states at once during farming and trading seasons.
