Senate President, Ahmad Lawan said on Tuesday in an address of welcome on the floor of the senate that the country’s security has deteriorated.
He said the continuous loss of lives is unacceptable, stressing that there is a need for the senate to speedily seek for solutions to fix the security problem bedeviling our dear country.
According to him, community policing is one of them.
Lawan said, “Recently, the security in the country has deteriorated and the attendant loss of lives is not acceptable. We need to secure the lives and property of our citizens, as enshrined in our constitution.
“We all are witnesses to how our economy is also affected by the inclement security situation.”
“In this regard, the senate will engage the executive arm of government to discuss the implementation of the recently launched National Security Strategy (NSS) 2019,” he said.
“For a long time, major stakeholders in the security of our nation and police authorities appear to achieve consensus on the necessity of introduction of community policing in the country.”
