Gov. Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti made this
known, while briefing State House

monthly NEC meeting, which was presided
over by Vice-President Namadi Sambo.
He said that such security outfits like
vigilance groups should be equipped with
tracking equipment to support their
operations.
He also said that the council directed state
governments to provide grazing lands, as
part of measures to address the menace of
recurring disputes between farmers and
herdsmen across the country.
Mr. Fayemi said that the council also
discussed the state of federal roads across
the country and pledged that the funds which
state governments expended on the roads’
reconstruction and rehabilitation would be
refunded.
Besides, the governor said that the council
directed state commissioners of finance to
liaise with the Federal Ministry of Finance on
the guidelines put in place for borrowing
funds.
Also speaking, Gov. Martin Elechi of Ebonyi
said that the council endorsed the celebration
of the Nigerian Centenary in 2014.
He said that the council resolved that the
governors should prepare their input into the
programme before the end of the year.

State, Muktar Shagari, said that the council
had approved the setting up of a committee
to tackle the problem of multiple taxation on
the establishment of Broadband and ICT

If you can give such powers to erratic vigilante groups, then why not endorse State Police already!

Which would be more difficult to control and held accountable between this vigilante groups and State Police

We just love making things difficult for ourselves in this country.
SMH...
