The National Economic Council (NEC) says the security situation in Benue Sate has improved.

Benue State Deputy Governor, Benson Abounu, briefed State House correspondents after NEC meeting presided over by the Acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo on Thursday.

Abounu said that the National Security Adviser, Babagana Mongunu, briefed the council on behalf of the various security agencies on the critical security issues nationwide.

“This ranges from kidnapping, gun-running, cattle rustling, tension between pastoralists and farmers, pipeline vandalism and communal clashes that exist nationwide.

“There is a synergy between the security agencies in tackling the menace of security issues in the county.

“NEC noticed of course, that there is lot of improvement in handling the insecurity situation in the country.

“A particular example that was given is the issue of pastoralists and farmers crisis in some parts of the country especially, North-Central, the North-West and other parts.

“For instance, the deployment of Operation Whirlstroke in Benue, has brought about improvement and especially put a near end to the killings that was very rampant in the area,” he said.

The deputy governor said that the state had started enjoying relative peace.

He said that the council decided that the military personnel in ‘Operation Whirlstroke’ should not be withdrawn in a hurry because their presence will bring about the needed stability.

According to him, such stability is needed to enable the internally displaced persons to return to their various localities.

Abounu said that troops had been deployed to the various flashpoints and a lot of improvements had been recorded.

He added that there were plans regarding the handling of other security problems especially pipeline vandalism in the Niger Delta.

What's with all these ipob yoots/ wailers trying to discredit Buhari and credit Osinbajo?

Benue has been peaceful for close to 2 months now.


Buhari till 2023.
Osinbajo till 2031.
APC till 2055.

For instance, the deployment of Operation Whirlstroke in Benue, has brought about improvement and especially put a near end to the killings that was very rampant in the area,” he said.

Good day nairalanders... Please l need a good Samaritan to help out with a better job connection in Abuja or environs for someone l know and recommend very dearly for his uncommon intelligence, hard work, dedication to duty as well as unparalleled integrity and honesty.
I have hitherto worked with this young man and know him in and out as Godfearing (with great respect for people), can be trusted with confidential matters as well as have an above average IQ plus being handsome with a good dress sense. He possesses a Bachelors degree in the Social Sciences and is in his early thirties with over six years work experience that cuts across mainly education, customer service and administrative duties. He is presently poorly and grossly underpaid(less than 50k) considering his "quality attributes"... If God lays it in your heart, kindly reach him via: qualitysmile7@gmail.com...as you remember to help him, God will remember to help you too...thanks.

NB: Though any safe part of the country can also be considered if the job and conditions attached are worth it. God bless you as you help him.

Progress. Good job . All must pray for improvement.

Politicians were behind those killings.
To use it to campaign,
Their plan did not work and they have stop.

Only if they will allow Osibanjo to run with Sullivan Chime as vice in 2019. I somehow believe Osibanjo meant well for an average Nigerian.
I'm not a supporter of APC though

ok

Ordinary mere commissioner...

Buhari/ Osibanjo are a formidable team. They are making us proud.

God bless Osibanjo,
God bless Buhari,
God bless Nigeria.

When that bubu is not around things grow cool in NAIJA

osibanjo the dwarf mere commissioner.

The same man one clueless senator called "ordinary commissioner'

For the first time in the history of this country, we have an adminstration where the vice-president functions maximally and controls things like a boss in the absence of the President.

Both of them are result oriented. I'm impressed and happy to see this day.
