I’m Overhauling Police Force To Overcome Insecurity – Buhari by micheal34(op): 3:02pm On Aug 23, 2019

President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday in Abuja said the entire structure of the Nigerian Police Force is being overhauled, re-positioned and primed with modern technological gadgets to meet rising challenges across the nation.

He also said an intelligence loop among all security outfits has been created.

The President spoke while receiving traditional rulers from the North led by His Eminence, Alhaji Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar III at the Presidential Villa.

In a statement by the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Chief Femi Adesina, the President said the ongoing reform of the police will include recruitment of more hands, cultivation of stronger local intelligence and networking with communities, traditional rulers and adequate training.

He noted that the return of the Ministry of Police Affairs was purposely to drive the new initiative of ensuring proper provision of security for lives and property, with proactive intelligence gathering to nip crimes in the bud before they escalate.

“I have decided to meet with Your Highnesses to assure you that government is determined to tackle and deal decisively with all security challenges facing us as a nation.

“This consultation therefore is to engage you, our royal fathers, so that, collectively, we can arrive at solutions to any and all security problems in the country.

“We must all play our part to finally address these security challenges, particularly traditional rulers, in your respective communities, where you feel the pulse of the people, being the closest to the populace at the grassroots level,’’ he said.

President Buhari urged the traditional rulers to provide more support to security agencies with their versatile knowledge of communities and individuals.

“These policies and programmes include a robust revamping of police intelligence gathering capacity and the significant boosting of the numbers of security personnel in our local communities. This in specific terms will include recruiting more police officers and doing so whenever possible from their local government areas, where they would then be stationed in the best traditions of policing world-wide.

“Working with the State governments also, we intend to improve the equipping of the police force with advanced technology and equipment that can facilitate their work. To drive this, I recently created a full-fledged Ministry of Police Affairs.

“As I said during my meeting with the Traditional Rulers from the South-West, directives have been issued to the appropriate federal authorities to speedily approve licensing for States requesting the use of drones to monitor forests and other criminal hideouts,’’ he added.

The President said CCTVs will be installed on highways and other strategic locations so that activities in some hidden places can be exposed, more effectively monitored and open to actionable interventions.

In his remark, the Sultan of Sokoto assured the President of the full support of traditional rulers in the country.

“We have come to assure you of our total support, total commitment and undiluted dedication to moving the nation forward as one of the best countries of the world,’’ the royal father noted.

He said the traditional thrones in various communities predated the amalgamation of the protectorates, and all the forefathers had always upheld the virtues of peace, unity and stability, assuring the President that royal fathers across the country had been in constant communication on the security challenges, promising to support the government to succeed.

The Sultan commended Governor Bello Matawalle of Zamfara for the relative peace in the state after he was sworn into office, and decided to open up all channels of communication, urging other governors to adopt same model.

He also called on the President to strengthen the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) for more effective monitoring of drug-related situations in the country for correction and prosecutions.

Bubu, ride on jare.

We patriotic Nigerians are solidly behind you.

Unpatriotic noise-making elements making noise for the blockage of loopholes through which they illicitly became "men" can go and die.

Buhari is the president of the fed rep of nig. If you can't take that, Ghana is visa-free, so do the needful till 2023.

And don't come back with those drivel of being a visitor to all the planets, moon, stars of the universe as usual, nobody ask you.

If all you said prior to the 2019 election were anything to go by, termites would have eaten buhari's carcasses by now, but he is now in his second term as the president.

And you still have the guts to be typing craps still inviting God into your frustration-laden prayers, tufiyakwa. On many occasions, things like "by the grace of the god I serve", "this is buhari last tenure" and some many other nonsense, your god no dey answer your prayer ni?

You no dey shame ni?

Mr.President simply is a failure because as a former coup plotter and having served as the GOC of 3rd.Armour Division, one expects that he should have fully know the security challenges of Nigeria & how best to handle them.

Imagine a C-in-C asking Nigerians to defend themselves against bandits.To pray over insecurity?
