Seek Multidimensional Approach to End Insecurity, UNGA Advises Nigeria - THISDAYLIVE via thisdaylive
President Muhammadu Buhari ; welcome President of United Nations General Assembly ,Ms. Maria Fernanda Espinaso during the visit of President of United Nations General Assembly to the Presidential Villa , Abuja …yesterday .
“These are not fancy words. What I mean here is that the security efforts – this joint task force can work together with the support of the UN to be accompanied by a very strong affirmative action in terms of development, in term of inclusion and looking at the excellent initiatives of this country to resettle and accommodate the internally displaced people; how to address the refugee crises; how to improve quality of education; access to health services – I think it’s one single package.
Responding, Onyeama, who commended her for various achievements as the president of the global institution, appealed to her to help in finding solution to a lot of challenges Africa is facing. A statement by the president’s media adviser, Mr. Femi Adesina, said the president told the visiting President of the 73rd Session of UNGA that the condition of internally displaced persons in the country was pathetic and required their interventions.
The statement also said the UNGA president commended Nigeria for being a key part of the UN system, describing Nigeria as a well respected country in the global body. Garces, who said whereas the reform process, which would have accelerated Nigeria’s quest for the seat started two and half decades ago, inter-governmental negotiations over the matter formally began 10 years ago, pointing out that despite many years of pursuit, member states have failed to reach a consensus to push the matter through.
Also answering a question on the plan of the UN towards addressing the humanitarian crises plaguing the Lake Chad region, Garces said the organisation had signed a $4.5 million cooperation framework with Nigeria. His words: “Policing is dynamic. The number of personnel we have can never be enough. But the government is trying to recruit every year. This year, we have 10,000 to recruit. We will meet up with the required number.”
On the reported molestation of women by some policemen in Abuja, the IG assured that police authorities will set up a panel to investigate the matter “and any policeman found wanting will face the wrath of the law.” He said: “The Senate is ready at any time to give assistance to provide adequate funding that is required in order to make the Police combat the necessary threats to our security.”In the meantime, the president has promised once again not to let Nigerians down, saying he is conscious of the weight of responsibility on his shoulders.
