The development is particularly significant for Taraba, a state that has faced different security challenges over the years, including communal conflicts, kidnapping and other forms of criminal activity.
The creation of an additional army division is expected to improve military coordination and allow security personnel to respond more quickly to emerging threats. It could also strengthen collaboration between the military, other security agencies and local communities.
The Arewa youths commended the President for approving the initiative and urged the Federal Government to ensure that the new division receives the necessary personnel, equipment and operational support to effectively perform its responsibilities.
They stressed that the creation of a military formation should go beyond the announcement and be backed by adequate resources and strategic planning.
The group also called on residents to cooperate with security agencies by providing useful information about suspicious activities and supporting initiatives aimed at maintaining peace.
The youths said improved security would not only protect residents but could also create a more conducive environment for economic activities, investment and development in Taraba and surrounding states.
The establishment of the division comes amid broader efforts by the Federal Government and the Nigerian military to strengthen security operations and improve the country’s capacity to respond to threats across different regions.
For residents of Taraba, the development could represent a significant boost to the state’s security architecture, particularly if the new formation becomes fully operational and adequately equipped.
The Arewa youths therefore urged political leaders, traditional rulers, community leaders and residents to support the initiative and work with security agencies to ensure that the expected benefits are achieved.
They maintained that stronger military presence, improved intelligence gathering and closer cooperation with local communities would be essential to achieving lasting peace and stability in the region.
The group’s commendation has further highlighted the expectations surrounding the new army division, with residents and stakeholders likely to watch closely as the Federal Government moves to strengthen its operations and security presence in Taraba.
