Benue State Governor Hyacinth Alia says federal government and United States security interventions are helpful in addressing insecurity linked to recent killings in Benue. Speaking on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Tuesday, he commends the role of both the Federal Government of Nigeria and the US in efforts to tackle the violence affecting communities.
Alia also raises concerns about how security responses are coordinated, describing them as fragmented across agencies. He stresses the need for closer cooperation, particularly among states in Nigeria’s North-Central region, to improve protection for local residents. While both outlets report Alia’s approval of external and federal support, they also highlight his call for better regional and inter-agency coordination rather than relying on disconnected efforts.
Overall, the reports focus on Alia’s assessment of the interventions’ impact and his recommendations for stronger collaboration among stakeholders involved in security operations in and around Benue.
