The National Peace Committee (NPC), on Thursday called for the recruitment of more security personnel into the security agencies to aid the fight against insecurity in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Committee made the appeal in a communiqu\u00e9 signed by its Chairman and former Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar<\/a> (retired).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the statement, members were particularly worried about how overstretched the security services had become and were being deployed for duty to almost every conflict, including terrorism, banditry, kidnapping, armed robbery and outright criminality, that is occurring in different parts of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part of the decision reached at the end of their meeting and as contained in the communiqu\u00e9 included that the Nigeria government: \u201cShould recruit more security personnel. The recruitment should be inclusive and representative of all regions. This is to ensure that no group or region feels marginalised and excluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMake a concerted effort in reviewing all training manuals for security agencies. Additionally, the government should re-equip and re-kit the security agencies with weapons fit for modern warfare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPromote effective and fruitful coordination between the various security services and government institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn line with the constitution, deploy more resources to support the fight against insecurity and considering the link between poverty and insecurity, the government should, at all levels, address the wider structural issues such as poverty and unemployment that promote insecurity,\u201d NPC said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The committee also admonished the government to: \u201cLook at the growing perception of corruption in the acquisition of equipment to tackle insecurity,\u201d noting that \u201cthe Nigerian government should create an independent security resource management unit that will assess, procure and provide timely delivery of equipment, resources and welfare to the security agencies and set up an effective communications strategy to clearly articulate and communicate their conflict policies to Nigerians. This should include a general reorientation of the populace to mobilize citizens and rebuild their trust in the government.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
