Bold Proposal: Senator Musa Suggests State Police, Extensive Recruitment, And Tactical Reforms Against Insecurity

According to him, all the tiers of government and Nigerians must recognize the fact that security is essential for the survival and flourishing of any society, hence it has become imperative that all hands must be on deck to make it possible that it involves the protection of individuals, communities, and the entire nation against dangers and attacks.

Senator Musa has called on all leaders in the states and local governments to give President Bola Tinubu the needed support and encouragement to do the needful in the nation’s quest for renewed hope, adding that he has the vision, the capabilities, the political capacity and institutional coherence to do those things that will rediscover and get back Nigeria on the path of economic growth, security and prosperity.

Senator Musa who also emphasized the challenges and influence of drug abuse said that as a country, we must take a serious stance on drugs as a nation, even as he said that many factors affect substance abuse, adding that there must be the introduction of the effects of drug abuse in the school’s curriculums, factors such as loss of family support, friends’ influence, peer factors and other individualized factors must be addressed because they constitute some of the strongest factors, that influence individuals to start abusing substances and that the impact of it, create insecurity

According to him, as a nation, we must inculcate favourable parental attitudes towards behavior, parental monitoring and sexual orientation.

Senator Musa said, ” The issue of insecurity in Nigeria has become something of grave concern to me and all well-meaning Nigerians, most of whom continue to wonder how the country arrived at such a dastardly situation where no one is safe; and worse still, rather than abate, the problem is escalating and now totally out of control. I have repeatedly spoken and issued statements on this very disturbing issue, especially as it affects my state, Niger, its neighbouring states and other parts of the country.

” The state of insecurity in Nigeria caused by multiple crimes, banditry and spate of kidnappings, massive killing as well as wanton destruction of property has become a recurring phenomenon that threatens the well-being of its citizens. I am specifically calling for the re-engineering of our nation’s security architecture since it is not working. Calling for the reconsideration of State Police and massive recruitment of men, new tactics in intelligence gathering.

“It is important that we all recognize that security is essential for the survival and flourishing of any society. Hence we must make it possible that it involves the protection of individuals, communities, and the entire nation against dangers and attacks.

“Security is so important that every government in Nigeria spends a substantial part of its money on its provision. Therefore we shall leave no stone unturned to give the needed push for the enhancement of security in our land. Every community is only as strong or weak as the state of its security.
