He made the call in Maiduguri while receiving the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Waidi Shuaibu, on a courtesy visit. Zulum commended the Nigerian Army for improvements in the security situation in the state and requested stronger deployments in strategic locations, including Kareto, Baga, and the Sabon Gari-Wajiroko axis, to protect communities, secure waterways, and support the reopening of the Damboa-Biu road.
