In a push for stronger security and grassroots governance, Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq on Tuesday held a crucial meeting with the state’s top traditional rulers, calling for united action against rising threats.
Behind closed doors, the Governor and royal fathers discussed strategies to protect communities from the spillover of armed groups reportedly displaced by military operations near Kainji Park and other conflict zones.
Governor AbdulRazaq announced plans to involve traditional institutions more deeply in the state’s security structure.
He praised the rulers for their vigilance and urged them to mobilize their people for peace.
“We count on your leadership to help detect and prevent threats. Your influence is vital in keeping our communities safe,” the Governor said.
Etsu Patigi, Alhaji Ibrahim Umar Bologi the Second, speaking for the Council of Chiefs, pledged continued royal support for the administration’s development and security drive.
This engagement underscores the Governor’s vision to merge traditional wisdom with modern governance in building a peaceful and prosperous Kwara.
