EndSARS

End Special Anti-Robbery Squad (EndSARS) or #EndSARS is a social movement in Nigeria that started on Twitter calling for banning of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, a unit of the Nigerian Police Force.

ENDSARS is a call to end police oppression and brutality in Nigeria. The protests started as a social media campaign using the hashtag #ENDSARS to demand Nigeria’s government to scrap and end the deployment of Nigeria Police Force Special Anti-Robbery Squad, popularly known as SARS.

Within a weekend (9-11 October 2020), the #ENDSARS hashtag had up to 28 million tweets.

Nigerians have shared both stories and video evidence of how members of SARS engaged in kidnapping, murder, theft, rape, torture, unlawful arrests, high-handedness, humiliation, unlawful detention, extrajudicial killings, and extortion.

SARS officers profile youths largely based on appearance; mount illegal roadblocks, stop and search, arrest without warrant, rape women, extort young Nigerians for driving exotic vehicles and using iPhones.

The Minister said that this would stop blind application of fertiliser and ensure sustainable land use. Speaking at the at the commissioning of the Soil Testing and Geographic Information System (GIS) laboratories in Abuja on Tuesday, Dr Abubakar said the soil resources on which agriculture depends must also receive special attention for sustainable agricultural production. He reiterated the Federal Government's commitment to an agriculture led diversification of the nation’s economy, he The Minister noted that the facilities being commissioned has the capacity for analysing large quantities of soil samples rapidly. He explained that the laboratory also has capacity to receive soil field data real-time for processing, analyses and mapping. Dr Abubakar said the GIS technology with its versatility will facilitate the production of soil fertility maps for different parts of the country. "This will provide current information on the suitability and capability of lands for the production of different crops and land use. "The maps will provide information on crop and location specific types of fertiliser for blending by our blenders to enhance agricultural productivity and stop blind application of fertilisers in the country. "This is another bold step towards sustainable production of food using modern technology by paying attention to the health of our soils." Furthermore, he added that the Ministry is now in a position to provide technology-driven services for effective land resources management nationwide. He said that Federal government is committed to an agriculture led diversification of the nation’s economy. "This is another bold step towards sustainable production of food using modern technology by paying attention to the health of our soils. In his remarks, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Dr Ernest Umakhihe, said the laboratories are expected to expand soil analytical services in the country and bring soil testing services closer to our farming communities. He said: "In our drive towards attaining food self-sufficiency, the facilities we are commissioning today are expected to contribute substantially in driving the process because the soil is the starting point when we talk of food security. He added that the commissioned soil testing and GIS laboratories will facilitate the production of national soil survey and soil fertility maps for the country. "We hope to complete the project in three years, subject to availability of resources. "The Nigerian Soil Information Service (NISIS) will be established at the end of the nationwide detailed soil survey., Don't harass residents , 2023 Elections: NANS queries N305 billion INEC budget, NANS warns against splinter group, NANS urges Lagos govt to take action on cultism, drug abuse in schools, NANS against fuel hike, NANS, killings, #EndSARS, protest, NANS, media, NANS Abiodun Tai Solarin
