No More Room For Complacency, Lawan To Service Chiefs

The President of the Senate, Ahmed Lawan, on Sunday met with the President, Muhammadu Buhari on how to mitigate the security challenges the country is currently facing.

In a press briefing with the State House journalists after his meeting with the president, Lawan said the provision of more resources for the nation’s security agents would improve security and showing the way out to heads of security agencies if they aren’t effective.

He said, “I think we must tell ourselves the truth that the security situation in the country, especially in the northern part of the country, requires that we give much more resources to the security agencies.

“Those who are heading these agencies, especially the service chiefs, must sit up. In fact, we must have milestones and timelines on how we are going to deal with this. We can’t just go on without any time-frame for dealing with these issues.

“If after we provide some supports and someone is found short of expectations, he should be shown the way out if he refuses to go. This is because the lives of Nigerians are so precious and therefore must be more important than any other considerations or sentiments.”

It would be recalled that the President had earlier met with the security chiefs telling them their best isn’t enough, and that they should do more to improve the security of Nigerians.
