We had hoped that by this time, the security situation would have been far better and Nigeria would have made more progress not only in the area of security but also in the area of the economy which is tied to the security situation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dI believe that all security agencies and armed forces have been doing their best but apparently we have to do more to achieve what we desire.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are, of course, several arguments whether the resources available to our Armed Forces and our security agencies are enough or not.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dDefinitely not enough. I don\u2019t know of any country where there is enough really. But even within the scarcity that we have, this administration and this National Assembly have always prioritized the security of our country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis particular session of the interaction between us is to look into where we are today and probably this current position where we are is most frightening because it is like there is nowhere to hide and nowhere to go.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInsecurity is everywhere. And it is coming to the point of dislocating the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/08\/03\/were-executing-new-strategies-to-end-insecurity-irabor\/\">security<\/a> situation where the government is quartered. We will review all strategies and see what more we have to do.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur population is largely peasant. Most of our people are in the rural areas and they live their lives by going to farms. In many parts of the country today, that is a Herculean task.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy belief is that we can do better to secure the rural areas. The so-called ungoverned space. At least for our population who go to farms to earn their living.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhere our agricultural productivity is drastically going down, that will complicate the security situation because the most ordinary Nigerians care more about what he or she or what the family will eat. And of course, all other things are secondary.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have problems with our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/07\/28\/economy-doing-well-under-buhari-than-previous-govts-finance-minister\/\">economy<\/a> to some extent because of insecurity. No foreign direct investment or not as much as we would ordinarily attract to our country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe level of oil theft is of industrial scale today and many of the oil companies, especially the oil majors don\u2019t feel the environment is secured enough for them to continue with their business.\u00a0Our oil will be useless if there is no room for us to export and earn revenue.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The government may find it difficult to provide services if something is not done.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dOur crude is stolen at such a\u00a0 high scale and that means our revenue is drastically going down.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dI hope that our discussions will give us the opportunity to consider other things or other areas or ideas that we didn\u2019t have before.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senate President Ahmad Lawan has stated that the level of insecurity in the country is \u201cfrightening.\u201d This was stated on Wednesday, August 3 by Lawan while speaking during a meeting between the leadership of the Senate and security chiefs.
