via Punch Nigeria15 hours ago1 min read
Senator Ali Ndume, representing Borno South, asserted that Nigeria possesses the capability to resolve its insecurity challenges within six months, provided the Federal Government demonstrates strong political will and decisive action. Speaking on Channels Television on Monday, April 14, Ndume emphasized that addressing insecurity demands commitment over mere rhetoric. He stated that equipping, training, and motivating soldiers are crucial steps. The lawmaker highlighted that persistent security issues, including insurgency and banditry, are largely due to deficiencies in military preparedness and support. Ndume also expressed concern over the ongoing loss of military personnel, including senior officers, and warned that repeated attacks on security forces indicate operational weaknesses needing urgent attention. He urged the Federal Government to prioritize sufficient funding, improved welfare, and better equipment for the armed forces, arguing that a well-supported military would be more effective in countering security threats nationwide.
