Chairman, Senate Committee on Cooperation and Integration in Africa/NEPAD, Senator Chimaroke Nnamani, on Monday urged security operatives to rise up to the deteriorating incidence of kidnapping and other violent crimes which daily threaten the lives of citizens.
Nnamani in a statement also tasked government functionaries at all levels to ensure justice, fairness and equity in the management and distribution of social amenities, in a manner that would give all sections of the country a sense of belonging.
He said that a secured environment has become imperative to enable citizens to enter the New Year with renewed hope and vigour as โthe needed impetus towards achieving set goals.โ
Nnamani said: โSomething has to be done about our security situation. It is degenerating to an unacceptable level where citizens now begin to lose faith in the system. We must avoid a situation where citizens may resort to self-help.
โThat would be catastrophic and counter productive. We need to be secured in a congenial atmosphere to be able to contribute our quota to national developmentโ.
On his part, he said the Senate would collaborate and cooperate with other arms of government to facilitate the delivery of dividends of democracy to Nigerians.
He further canvassed for a stronger collaboration between the government and the governed because โonly such synergy would propel us to national renewal in 2020โ.
The former Governor of Enugu State in his felicitation with country men and women said the New Year promises to be eventful and purposeful if everyone does his or her legitimate duties diligently.
Senator Nnamani expressed optimism that Nigeria would get out of the woods โif we harness our human and material resources for the good of allโ.
