GOVERNOR ABUBAKAR SANI BELLO CALLS FOR RECRUITMENT OF MORE SECURITY PERSONNEL TO CURTAIL SECURITY CHALLENGES

Governor Abubakar Sani Bello of Niger State has called on the National Assembly and the Federal Government to expedite actions on recruitment of more security personnel.

Governor Sani Bello made the call when he received the Niger State caucus in the National Assembly on a visit to commiserate with the Government over rising cases of banditry in the State.

The Governor expressed concern with the insecurity in the State in particular and the country in general despite concerted efforts to stop it, pointing out that security agencies have been overstretched, inadequate and abscence of sufficient surveilance equipment to manage security challenges very well.

"We have being making all efforts to see that it is being curtailed but it's been extremely difficult mostly because of manpower shortage and lack of equipment. The strength of the entire Police in Niger State is just about four thousand, it used to be 14 thousand for Niger State alone. So you can see the police is overstretched and i believe even the Military is the same.

"I hope we can work together to support the Federal government so that they can do the needful of expediting actions towards recruitment of more security agents. t the same time, these days you need a lot of technology to deploy and to manage security very well. So i hope the National Assembly will support the Federal government when it comes to the statutory budgetary provision that will provide for these equipment", he said.

He described the visit as a sign of unity between the State government and the National Assembly Members from the state adding that the secured victims are doing well and set to be reunited with their family members.

Governor Sani Bello expressed optimism that the Government Science College Kagara kidnapped victims will soon be released as efforts are being made tirelessly to that effect.

Earlier, the National Assembly Members from the State led by the Deputy Chief Whip of the Senate, Senator Abdullahi Sabi representing Niger North expressed worries over the security challenges in the state particularly in the past few days, describing it as shocking and touching thereby calling for prayers and divine intervention.

The Law maker said their visit is to identify with the government and people of Niger state, adding that it is a solemn period and of great shock not just for the Governor and his cabinet but the entire people of the state and the country as a whole.

"The incidences in the last few weeks have no doubt shook the foundation of the state and
the period calls for prayers, it calls for very strong introspection so that we can actually identify the problems and find lasting solutions to them", he added.

He said as representatives of the people from the state at the federal level, they have always presented insecurity cases at the floor of the House so that the federal will be aware of the happenings in the state.

The Chairman of the caucus then commended the leadership of Governor Sani Bello and his efforts towards securing the release of the 53 kidnapped passengers of NSTA bus recently.

Among the caucus were
Senator representing Niger East Senatorial District, Sen. Sani Musa, Member representing Chanchaga Constituency Hon. Mohammed Umar Bago, Member representing Bosso/Paikoro, Hon. Shehu Bawa Beji, Member representing Bosso/Paikoro Federal Constituency.

Others are Member representing Shiroro/Munya/Kagara, Hon. Saidu Mohammed, Member representing Edati/Lavun/Mokwa, Member representing Hon. Usman Abdullahi, Memeber representing Agwara/Borgu Hon. Jafaru Mohammed, Member representing Agaie/Lapai Hon. Mamud Mohammed.

North problem of Nigeria

This country needs coup or recolonization asap

If na election DM go send police Soldier ndla native doctor go d state go do show of force ..

This is where this game is supposed to be heading to in the first place. Cause insecurity all over the places especially the North and recruit more Herds men into the Nigeria Army of police force. We know how the games go !!! Who are this Fulani people deceiving. We are wiser than this now !!

You have Sons, Brothers, Nephews, Male Relatives and Friends......
Encourage them to join first, before encouraging innocent Nigerians to go on a suicide mission

Sighs
After using monies(over #800m) meant to buy ammunition and other valuables that will better equip soldiers to pay ransome and appease bandits.
Our leaders are clueless ! SMH
How many of his relatives are in security outfits in Nigeria fighting insecurity...but you want more people to be recruited and fed to your demonic BH boys, FHerdsmen and bandit.....May you all suffer for 600yrs.


Proactivity Leads To Productivity!!!

If we must remain one

Restructuring into true federalism is the solution we should stop running round circles.
There is no more time. The world has left us behind

Nigeria has lost countless men to these evil men the government is constantly paying money to, yet this imbec*le is saying they should recruit more to go and die. Let your son pick army form na. If you had suggested the idea of buying sophisticated weapons for these men, will you die? Shame on all of you. The money the government is paying those bandits are enough to buy better weapons for the military. But they have refused. Absolutely refused

We need to reduce the bad eggs first, for corruption is our main problem.

The art of war has gone beyond amassing human resources, Nigeria needs to invest in technology. Drones and other security gadgets with less than resources will police the nation better.

[left][/left] A country where a man knows where all the bandits stay in the bush and the whole Nigeria Army can't find where they are in the push doesn't need more army.

Seriously speaking, government at all levels should recruit and/or build up more security personnel/security outfits to curtail the menace of insecurity ravaging the nation. If this is taken into consideration, security personnel will, amongst others, be able to confront armed bandits who storm their targeted areas in droves, attack and kidnap peace loving citizens.

This one did not know that d side hustle of some security personnel is armed robbery, kidnapping and assassin.

The problem goes beyond more recruitment.

Government at all levels must show sincerity and unalloyed commitment to fight banditry and insurgency.

Nigeria is not worth fighting for. To serve Nigeria is not by force.

Have lost interest, can't be use for sacrifice
