Governor Ahamdu Umaru Fintiri of Adamawa State has lauded the efforts of security agencies in the Northeast for ensuring peace and stability in the region.
Fintiri made the commendation Monday while declaring the 13th Northeast quarterly conference of Directors of State Security Services held at the State Command of DSS Yola, the Adamawa state capital.

“Security challenges include Boko Haram insurgency, farmer-herder clashes, and kidnappings, cross border crimes, inter and intra communal clashes as well as attacks on various security services and formations.”
“While reviewing the five pillars of DSS to the nation, our terms of commitment as state governments remain forthrightly to facilitate, support and earnestly identify critical problem areas for solutions finding,” he said.
Fintiri assured the resolve of northeast governors to cooperate with the DSS and other security agencies at all levels to provide security and an enabling environment for peace, law, and order.
In his welcome remarks, the Director of DSS in Adamawa, Alhaji Hassan Adeleke said participants at the conference would brainstorm on the contemporary general security situation bedeviling the northeast zone.
Adeleke explained that at the end of the conference, the resolution will be made to provide further guidance and action to service by the commands in the zone and other critical stakeholders.
