Speaking at the event, which took place in Bokkos, Oyinlola said the meeting was meant to discuss ways to achieve a peaceful and successful farming season.
He said the move was part of the military’s non-kinetic approach toward achieving lasting peace in the state.
He said that the meeting provided an avenue for the stakeholders to rob minds toward finding solution to the lingering security challenges in the area.
“This engagement is timely as the farming season approaches.
It affords us the opportunity to reflect toward ensuring that peace reigns in our communities.
“Security of lives and property is key and as the farming approaches, it is important that we consolidate on the gains of the past.
“Security is the cornerstone that brings steady growth and development to any society and farming is part of this growth.
“Last year, we recorded a successful farming season and this is due to similar engagements.
“This is why we are here to again remind ourselves of the need to do more this year,” Oyinlola said.
