Meanwhile, Upper Nile Governor James Odhok briefed the President on the security situation in Nasir County, confirming that the general security in the state is stable.

He also noted that he had conducted field visits across various counties to promote a culture of peace and urge local communities to embrace tolerance and peaceful coexistence. These visits were well-received by the public, and he emphasized that Upper Nile is currently witnessing stability, with life gradually returning to normal.


For his part, Northern Bahr el Ghazal Governor Simon Obur Ajongo updated the President on the security situation in his state. In a press statement following the meeting, he stated that he briefed the President on several developmental projects being implemented by the state government to boost infrastructure and economic growth in the region.
The briefings presented by the three governors to the President underscore the national government’s commitment to addressing security challenges and ensuring development across the country.
