President Muhammadu Buhari has banned all mining activities in the state.

Indeed, the President has declared Zamfara a ‘no-fly zone’.

The National Security Adviser, Major General Babagana Monguno (rtd), made this known Tuesday in Abuja.

According to Monguno, it was part of measures to tackle the security challenges witnessed in the north-western state.

He spoke to State House correspondents after a five-hour National Security Council meeting presided over by the President at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

A no-fly zone, also known as a no-flight zone, or air exclusion zone, is a territory or area established by a military power over which certain aircraft are not permitted to fly.

General Monguno also stated that all non-state actors have been placed under surveillance as the Federal Government will not hesitate to use kinetic means to restore normalcy in the country.

The NSA said the country’s defence and intelligence organization have been put on alert and charged not to allow the country to slide into a state of anarchy.

Monguno also said the President, in the meeting, gave a marching order to the new service chiefs to reclaim all areas under the control of bandits, insurgents, and kidnappers.
