Ganduje disclosed this on Friday while addressing State House Correspondents after leading a large number of Kano State eminent personalities on a courtesy visit on President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

He said that the state provides conducive environment for the security agencies, adding that Command and Control Centre was established where security agencies communicate with one another.

Besides, the state has constructed army training Centre at Falgore, which he said is the biggest forest in the country, stressing that about N500 million had been committed to the project.

Similarly, the Sultan of Sokoto, Sa’ad Abubakar, has distanced himself and the Northern Traditional Rulers from the recently launched security outfit by the Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG)

He explained that the traditional rulers in the region were not consulted before the security outfit was inaugurated, stressing that the monarchs were not in support of the regional body.

The Sultan faulted the unveiling of Operation Shege Ka Fasa following its inauguration by a Coalition of Northern Group on Wednesday.

He made the remarks during the inauguration of the Northern Security Monitoring Committee in Kaduna State, north-west Nigeria.
