Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State on Wednesday said his administration has put measures to rid the state of bandits and kidnappers.
Sule stated this in an interview with newsmen shortly after a courtesy call on Vice President, Kashim Shettima, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
He said the State Government with the support of the Federal Government established a Military Super Camp in the area that was prone to bandits and kidnappers.
“It took us a while to be able to stabilise the area. The road leading to the area where some of the bandits and kidnappers were actually settled down was very bad. We now constructed a major road in the area.
“The Federal Government also constructed a major road that comes all the way from Benue into Nasarawa State which most of the transporters from the Eastern part of the country are actually using at the moment.
“So, because of that we also established what you called Military Super Camp in the area. So there is a military presence in the area.
“So, all those kinds of kidnappers, bandits and so on have all left, we don’t have any as far as those areas are concerned.”
Sule added that Nasarawa was always considered one of the safest states to do agriculture and other things.
The governor said the state over the past three years, had been leading in so many areas of agriculture.
