We need to work majorly with Kaduna state and Niger,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFCT will host the four states to fully implement the cooperation. If we don\u2019t do that, it is going to be difficult.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no day or week you will not hear that bandits attacked residents in Niger, bandits struck in Kaduna, and when that happens, where do they go to?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey go to the forest bordering FCT and the neighbouring states.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The minister said the collaboration would first examine what form of security architecture would be fitting for all the states, without jeopardising the peculiarities of each state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will look at what will work between FCT and Kogi, we will look at what will work with Niger and of course Kaduna state,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre we going to form a joint security outfit? Or just sharing intelligence? It will also mean that not only FCT will be providing the needed logistics support and all that, but also the affected states, to fight
