Reiterating the need for community vigilance and volunteering of information to security agencies, Yarima called on people of the area to support the ongoing war against insurgency as committed partners and pray for the return of peace in North-east and the country.
In their separate remarks, Muslim and Christian leaders commended the chairman for his efforts.
The chairman who also presented official vehicles to the district heads of Pella, Hong, Dugwaba, Gaya and Garaha, stressed the need to improve the welfare of traditional rulers and provide them with necessary facilities to carry out their responsibilities more efficiently.
