The Federal Government has reportedly resolved to engage the California National Guards in the United States in a bid to combat insecurity.

The Adjutant General of the California National Guard Maj Gen David Baldwin led Army delegates to pay a courtesy visit to the Chief of Army Staff Lt Gen TY Buratai to spur the relationship between the two military institutions to greater level.

The Federal Government, as part of efforts to curb the wave of insecurity in the country, has resolved to engage the California National Guards in the United States.

Minister of Interior, Abdulrahman Dambazau, disclosed this Tuesday in Abuja when an American military led by Gen David Baldwin, paid him a courtesy visit.

Dambazau revealed that the National Guard would also train the Agro Rangers Squad of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps NSCDC, adding that the National Guard will also train other agencies under the ministry in disaster management.

“We want to seize this opportunity to express our gratitude on behalf of all the services under the ministry, for meeting with some of them and even offering to assist with some logistics to enhance their operations.

“Part of what we want you to do particularly to the Civil Defence you met today is to create what we call Agro Rangers because of the incessant clashes we have between the farmers and herdsmen and the constant kidnapping we have in the country.

We intend to provide adequate security that will help those that invested in agriculture to continue with their activities. We will want you to assist other agencies like the Fire services, Immigration and Prison in terms of training and logistics.

“We, at the ministry, focus on policies that will enhance the internal security of the country and we want to seek your collaboration at that level you see how we can manage our efforts towards security sector reforms.

“It is very important we reform our security sector to meet up with challenges of modern times. As you know, we have challenges of insurgency and terrorism which is a global issue. We should be able to collaborate with you on these issues.
“Beyond that, I am sure that there are other things we can do together.

National Guard is very important in the USA especially as it focuses on disaster management. We hope to leverage on the experiences you used in managing hurricane in the USA to manage disaster like the flooding we experienced this year in Nigeria,” he appealed.

Earlier, the leader of the delegation, Baldwin, said: “We are very proud of the progressives you have made in the service of humanity. There has been a strong relationship between the ministry and the US National Guard.
“We are here to explore other areas of partnership that will be of mutual benefit and to the people of Nigeria. We are interesting in the training of personnel especially those involved in the fight against insurgency and disaster management.

“We are here to dialogue and explore opportunities we can work together particularly in the areas of ICT and disaster response. We look forward to working with you,” he said.

Shameful!



We need US president to take charge of the people forthwith

Training that will amount to millions of babaringa

Better late than never. APC gradually and grudgingly adopting measures they criticised 4 years ago.

Hehehehe... I hear una. With d way d army and top ppl in d govt kips sabotaging efforts against insecurity Abi? Trust me top ppl in govt and d military are all in on it

This is very foolish...!

whitebeard:
This is very foolish...!

say what?

Hmmn when there are no longer unarmed protesters to shoot

.

APC, is insincere and exhibiting double standard for being a party that once chastised immediate past President, Goodluck Jonathan for seeking regional cooperation to finding solution to the challenge of insurgency, yet is now hailing President Muhammadu Buhari for taking the same step.

https://www.google.com.ng/amp/dailypost.ng/2015/06/07/pdp-accuses-apc-of-hypocrisy-over-buharis-quest-for-foreign-assistance/amp/

So from the "BH have been technically defeated" to "terribly downgraded", BH lacking the capacity to do major damage" the APC is about to engage the US Nat.Guards to defeat same monster they have defeated long ago including a $1B counter-insurgency fund?

Jonathan did it then seeking assistance of SA experts, the APC condemned it but today APC is reversing itself.APC hired Obama consultant for propaganda in 2015 but when PDP did same in 2018 APC is condemning it.APC hypocrisy is really nauseating.

Trump should quickly take over Aso rock too

The seat of power is clearly vacant and lifeless

Hahahahaha...

So Buhari now wants to beg American soldiers to come help him fight the "defeated" Boko haram?

I thought he rushed to pay for some aircrafts without following due process...aircrafts that is to be delivered in 2020

So Buhari just go tie down our money in the U.S., and now needs U.S. soldiers to come help am, while ours are only good at shooting civilians on procession.

Shameless country! Failed govt.. corrupt pigs as politicians. I spit on this country

Any thing that will reduce this excessive killing is allowed

Ok to be headed by his inlaw abi
Jonathan even did more than this and yet Lagos Media criticised him.

Few months to election, I am sure they had these plans all this while. But, why is this country like this People always doing the right things when they need a favour.

Love Americans for their dedications and loyalty to their father land . They look focussed every time and that is the secret of their winning all the time

Buhary, where is that $1b?

I hope that this won't be another conduit pipe to squander money. We just came out of failed Nigeria Air saga, grass importion saga, Aisha Buhari's aide saga, Adeosun and Shittu's NYSC saga and Buhari's WAEC saga, "future pre-ordered" military helicopter saga and NOW THIS

Same people that were screaming about Gej bringing in securities from Israel?

What is the new minimum wage. I didn't hear any announcement about it again. Shey labor union don ganduje?

Is Buhari not leading the battlefront again as promised?

Haters & wailers which way forward ?. Clueless Gej hired mercenaries ( merchants of death ). To fight Bokoharam with their boots on ground. While PMB is using USA guard's for training of Nigerian securities .which is obtainable around the world. Mr clueless GEJ awarded contracts for arms importations to fight insurgency, it was shamelessly stolen by PDP. Its disheartening that Nigerians are yet to sue PDP for all these atrocities committed by them

Does this mean Buhari will finally order his brothers to stop killing?
