Insecurity: No investment in security, armed forces is too much – Senate

The Senate Committee on Defence, on Monday, declared that no investment in security and the Armed Forces of Nigeria will be too much for the country to bear, considering the security crisis rocking some places.

This was disclosed by the committee’s Chairman, Senator Ahmad Lawal while addressing newsmen after an oversight visit to the Armed Forces Command and Staff College (AFCSC), Jaji, in Kaduna state.

The lawmaker opined that contemporarily, everything in the country revolves round security.

He promised that the upper legislative chamber would ensure that the nation’s security and armed forces continue to receive the attention that currently befits them.

“When we are able to secure our environment, then we can provide other things easily and comfortably,” he said.

Lawal stated that at the Senate, they consider the AFCSC as one of the most important institutions that provides training and education for the nation’s military.

”This is at both tactical, operational and mid-level for officers that lead various military operations,” he said.
