NUF urges FG to decisively tackle insecurity from all fronts
The Ndigbo Unity Forum (NUF), a global pan-Igbo socio-political organization, has urged Federal Government to decisively tackle insecurity from all fronts, using all available and futuristic means possible.
The Chairman of NUF, Chief Augustine Chukwudum, made the call on Thursday in Enugu while examining the heightened level of insecurity all over the country.
Chukwudum lamented worsening rate of insecurity following school children kidnapped and ransom demanded from their poor parents who are struggling to provide meal for their families in the current harsh economy.
According to him, insecurity has become a gold mine as few people are feeding fat from it due to years of non robust investment in the sector.
“Insecurity has come to be breaking news each day,” he said.
The chairman noted that it was time to invest massively in conventional, emerging and futuristic military hardwares and latest technologies to tackle the country’s embarrassing insecurity head long.
“NUF calls on President Bola Tinubu to do the needful by matching his words with actions not only condemnation of insurgency and banditry.
“President Tinubu should direct security agency to deal harshly with those non state actors perpetrating insecurity across the country immediately.
“We call on Federal Government to create enable environment for our youths to be engaged in productive ventures, this will help in eradicate crime to barest minimum as well,” he said.
The chairman called on state governors to obey Supreme Court judgement that gives local government areas full autonomy.
He said, “This move will help in bringing democratic dividends to the people at the grassroot as the state governors are expected to do the needful.
“NUF also renew it demand that President Tinubu should remove any state governor who refuse to comply. Such governor must be charged for treasonable offence for not obeying the Supreme Court.”
