That was also why the national assembly decided to pass a resolution urging the President of the Republic of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari to designate bandits as terrorists so that the security forces can have more power to deal with the situation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a committee, we will continue to support the army to achieve their goals but we shall insist that funds provided must be judiciously utilised to earn the trust of Nigerians and boost the morale of soldiers and officers in the army.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking earlier, Olabanji asked the committee to approve N43.3 billion for the command\u2019s 2022 budget against the N26.2 billion budgeted by the ministry of finance.<\/p>\n<p>He said the amount will cover personnel emolument, capital, training, and overhead cost of the command.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The house of representatives committee on the army has stated that it is worried about banditry and terrorism in the country.
