President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has called on the National Assembly to work out the modality for the establishment of state police.
The president stated this in response to calls by Nigerians to the government to take decisive steps to end insecurity in the country.
Tinubu also directed the security agencies, including the Armed Forces, police, and the Department of State Services (DSS), to recruit more personnel into their services.
He added that the policemen should be withdrawn from VIPs and be restrained for proper debriefing.
All these were contained in a statement from the Presidency, which was signed by the President himself and made available to journalists on Thursday.
The President said:
“I call on the National Assembly to begin reviewing our laws to allow states that require state police to establish them.
“States should rethink establishing boarding schools in remote areas without adequate security.
“Mosques and churches should constantly seek police and other security protection when they gather for prayers, especially in vulnerable areas.
“Our administration created the Livestock Ministry to address the persistent clashes between herders and farmers. I call on all herder associations to take advantage of it, end open grazing, and surrender illegal weapons. Ranching is now the path forward for sustainable livestock farming and national harmony.
“The Federal Government, in collaboration with the states, will work with you to solve this problem, once and for all.
“I sympathize with the families who have lost their loved ones in recent attacks on soft targets in Kebbi, Borno, Zamfara, Niger, Yobe, and Kwara states. I also pay tribute to our brave soldiers who have made the ultimate sacrifice, including Brigadier-General Musa Uba.
“Those who want to test our resolve should never mistake our restraint for weakness. This administration has the courage and determination to keep the country safe and ensure our citizens live in peace.
“Fellow compatriots, I urge you not to give in to fear and never succumb to despair. Let’s stand together in purpose and strength to defend our freedom and values.
“Our administration will continue to guarantee peaceful coexistence and preserve our union. I urge all Nigerians to remain calm and vigilant. Report suspicious activities.
Cooperate with security agencies. We are in this fight together, and together we shall win.
“May God continue to bless Nigeria and keep our armed forces safe,” President Tinubu prayed.
