Govt should take a second look at the recruitment into security agencies-Comrade Emelieze

 


The Federal government has been called upon  to urgently take a second look at the entire  process of recruitment and training of personnel of the various law enforcement and security agencies as a step towards ensuring  that the unbearable level of insecurity across Nigeria is nipped in the bud.

This call was made by the spokesperson for the Federal Workers Forum, Comrade Andrew Emelieze.

''The government should take urgent steps to carefully look into the processes of recruitment, training and postings of those in uniform as a step towards reversing the worrisome and disturbing spate of insecurity. The government should take a second look on the processes that ensured that these personnle exhibit the different uniforms of law enofrcement and security agencies.



These trained personnel of the various uniformed agencies in Nigeria have continued, without stop, to engage in forgery, perjury, extrajudicial killings and corruption in all forms among so many other absurdities.

Why is this so?

Perhaps, Illiteracy and ignorance are the two major reasons, when the leadership is found wanting, then things go absolutely wrong.

In most countries around the world, the interest of an individual has never been greater than those of these countries. However, this is not the case in several countries in sub-Saharan Africa.Indeed, a political party that has attained political power, is at an advantage to address the fundamental national question revolving around equality and justice. Unfortunately, in Nigeria today, the political party in power is proud to have regional and ethnic alliances which have ensured a divided country. The rule of law is increasingly being rubbished on a daily basis while political and religious intolerance is now the culture and tradition.The unabating state of insecurity and the unending violence which has claimed several thousands of lives, suggests that the former and the latter have become means to various ends for Those in Authority. A political party ought to be a medium for the expression of the choice of the electorate and the avenue through which like-minded people may expr...

In this interview, the Founder, Spiritual head and Grand Imam of Shafaudeen-in-Islam Worldwide, Prof. Sabitu Olagoke says that the 2019 Budget proposal the President presented to the National Assembly is extravagant and wasteful.

The Necessity for Change

Image
The function of a government goes beyond ensuring law and order, the arrangements to permit change must be functional. Change must revolve around consent and permission from the people. In several climes, the toleration of criticisms by governments attracted peaceful change and those who had visible potentials to partake in government are brought on board. But sadly, the fact that legislative chambers at the Federal and a number of states did not meet the minimum constitutionally stipulated sitting requirements in the outgone year is a great setback. Indeed, there is no ideal government for all places and there is no ideal for all times. The security situation across Nigeria, the attitude of security and law enforcement personnel, and government go beyond scratching the surface. When Government does not change promptly with the situation, the people become a major part of the challenges confronting the government. The experience of France at the end of the 18th century and Russia...
