“We therefore gathered here to evaluate and reorganize ourselves to improve our services and strengthen our cooperation with security organs in the campaign to ensure sustainable security,” Ngayaberura said.
“Without security, we also can’t operator and earn a living. This means it is also our responsibility to also fight anything that can affect our business,” he added.
