Need for delegation of duty to fight insecurity

There is the need for the government to delegate duties if it is indeed serious about its fight against insecurity because one tree does not make a forest and no man is an island.

The President Muhammadu Buhari – led government should learn to delegate powers to the Vice President and the Chief of Staff to the President to take charge of security matters or add their quota for effectiveness and prompt action because they are younger and more able to act proactively.

Also, the government should as a matter of urgency, seek for foreign help to tackle the present intractable and overwhelming security problems staring Nigeria in the face before the nation will be completely eroded and submerged.

If the current situation on insecurity is not quickly and effectively addressed and tamed, the effects will become too unbearable for the survival of the nation. It is the utmost desire of most Nigerians to know what President Muhammadu Buhari is doing to tackle the problems of AK-47 totting herdsmen and bandits that have continued to invade farmlands, destroy farms and crops, chase away farmers while maiming, killing them, kidnapping and raping their women and children across the country.

The activities of the herders and kidnappers is already creating hardships and famine for the entire nation and this must be checked because food insecurity must not be allowed to thrive in the face of daunting economic challenges faced by Nigerians.

I will advise the government to engage the services of young and able-bodied Nigerians, train and arm them massively to confront the menacing kidnappers and terrorists because those of us that are democrats and lovers of Nigeria know the importance of exploring the vast experience of the vice president as it seems the insecurity has overwhelmed the Presidency and the Federal Government.

Every day, we are bombarded with news of numerous Nigerians being kidnapped and maimed. Even with the ransom paid to the heartless bandits, some victims are still being killed. Kidnapping has now turned to the most lucrative business in Nigeria. This is sickening and nauseating to patriotic Nigerians.

Before every Nigerian is kidnapped and maimed, seek foreign help, engage the services of the youths and bring in the Vice President to assist as he was drafted to the trader money and SMEs scheme.  He is a younger person, full of dynamism and highly cerebral. With the involvement of the Vice President and the chief of staff, I strongly believe we shall have a reprieve.   For every problem, there is a solution.

Nigerians should not allow this insecurity in the country and its effects on the economy to destroy the fabric of the Nigerian society. I also want to reiterate the need for State Police to be seriously considered and approved to enable the various states of the federation kick start state policing and allow the state policemen to carry arms.

The Nigeria Police Force should be allowed to employ more agile youths that are daily roaming the streets for jobs and both the Armed Forces and policemen should be adequately remunerated for their risky jobs because they are rendering special work and entering dangerous terrains.

Chief Adesunbo Onitiri,

Lagos.
