To Fight Insecurity, Nigeria Must Tackle Corruption- Lawan

Senate President Ahmad Lawan has said that to address the scourge of insecurity, Nigeria must must tackle corruption effectively.

He stated this  on Friday at a dialogue on corruption and insecurity in Abuja.

Lawan added that deploying the military in troubled parts of the country is not enough to address the security challenges facing Nigeria.

“Indeed, this policy dialogue is showing us that to summarily deal with the ugliness of insecurity in Nigeria requires more than the deployment of military might,” the senate president said.

“We must look at social and economic vices like corruption, that enable and even propagate insecurity.

“As lawmakers, we look forward to the eventual policy brief that will be shared hereafter to guide the nation’s policy direction in ending insecurity in Nigeria.”

The senate president further hailed the  military in its fight against bandits.
