FCT Minister of State, Dr Mariya Mahmoud, has reiterated
the Administration’s commitment to improve security in the Bwari Area Council of the FCT, urging residents to remain vigilant.

She made this statement during a visit to the scene of a
recent IED bomb explosion at Tsangayar Sani Uthman Islamiyya School
in Kuchibuyi, Bwari, Abuja.

The minister assured residents to stay calm and continue their daily
activities, stressing the importance of vigilance in assisting security
operatives to tackle insecurity in the area.

She emphasized on the importance of collecting and registering details
about private and public schools in communities for better tracking of
students and security.

She tasked both traditional and religious leaders, as well as individuals, to provide any information that could help prevent the recurrence of such security challenges.

She also encouraged all residents to get to know their neighbors and
report any suspicious behavior, movements, or interactions, especially
from visitors in the communities.

The chairman of Bwari Area Council, John Gabaya, expressed concern
that the school was not officially registered with the council, which was
discovered during investigations.

He assured that collaborative efforts would be made to prevent such
incidents from recurring and to implement proactive security measures.
