The federal government of Nigeria has urged traditional rulers in the country to remain vigilant in the face of emerging security challenges.

Secretary to the government of the federation SGF, Boss Mustapha, disclosed this while delivering an address at an emergency meeting of the national executive committee of the national council of traditional rulers of Nigeria.
