This initiative will send a strong message that such practices will no longer be tolerated.” He assured the Taskforce of the Police Command’s unwavering support, including the deployment of personnel whenever required.

Ensuring that square pegs are placed in square holes is the first step toward success. Although the task is challenging, I am confident it is achievable. I commend Governor Mutfwang for constituting this Taskforce, which will recover properties that rightly belong to the state.”
On his part, the NSCDC Commandant, Mr. Ishaku Musa, highlighted the detrimental impact of pilfering on governance. He noted that while governments strive to deliver public benefits, the actions of a few individuals often undermine these efforts.
