The Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF, has expressed its
frustration in advising the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government on
security matters in the country without fruitful results.
The forum lamented that the government appeared not to be
serious in taking proactive measures to bring the worrisome situation to an
end.
Rising from its Board of Trustees (BOT) meeting on Tuesday,
the National Publicity Secretary of the forum, Emmanuel Yawe, while speaking to
journalists expressed dismay that the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government
failed to heed its advice on how best to curb the security challenges in the
country, thereby leaving the ordinary man to carry his cross.
The ACF National Publicity Secretary stressed the need for
massive employment of youths by governments at all levels, assuring that it
would go a long way to reduce crime rate and check rising insecurity across the
country.
He noted that the Tuesday meeting was very crucial to the
operations of ACF, saying that it was the first meeting of the
newly-constituted BOT.
He added that they discussed security, and expressed worry
because Nigerians are not secure.
“We are not happy about insecurity in the country. We are
looking at the immediate and long-term ways of improving security,” he
stressed.
Yawe explained that it has been in the news that over 300
students were kidnapped and taken away in Katsina, adding that the government
was saying they are negotiating with the kidnappers to free the students.
He observed that the situation was very disturbing to all
members of ACF.
