The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Public Communications, Daniel Bwala, has listed measures the Federal Government is taking to end insurgency, banditry, and kidnapping across the country.
He spoke during a panel discussion on The Link Up Podcast, hosted by echoRoom and published on Friday.
Bwala said the government was recruiting and retraining more security personnel, noting that the current strength of the security forces was not sufficient for Nigeria’s population and land mass.
“We are investing in training and retraining. First of all, we’re investing in recruiting more security personnel because the one we have, they are not sufficient to match with the population and the land mass,” he said.
He added that some of the new recruits would serve as forest guards to check terrorists exploiting forests to hide and mine resources illegally.
