7 WAYS TO FIGHT INSECURITY IN NIGERIA by Ibirogba Matthew

1. All security officers guiding VIPs should return to duty; In Nigeria thousands of security operatives are used in guiding the VIPs both the private and the government officials leaving the mass with insecurity, if they return back to office, they can be used to secure the mass which are actually funding their salaries, in the other hand, personal guides can used by the VIPs, then the level of insecurity will gradually be reduced.

2. Security officers salaries; The Salaries of the Security officers in Nigeria should be increased and duly paid on time because this will increase their level of integrity in discharging their duties. Many of the security officers have compromised the level of stand of carrying their duties because of the low incentives received by them, So they receive bribe and this will increase insecurity!, So Good salaries should be paid on time.

3. Unemployment; The high number of unemployed individuals in Nigeria has been a major threat to the Poverty and insecurity levels. The government should try to create more jobs through the local industries and even work with the Private sectors in creating more Jobs, Joblessness has lead so many citizens into becoming touts and robbers. But when they are Jobs, they will work and get paid so the idea of robbing people will be erased!

4. Proper Laws; The law makers should create a law that will provide hazard insurance to security officers and pension paid to retirees, this will encouraged them to work harder in securing the country. Officers run away from duties because of their lives and the welfare of their families has the bread winners, so they should be laws to enable them get insurance for hazards and pension should be duly paid because they have served the country.

5. High Influx of Arms- Smugglers use porous coastal borders of Nigeria to sell arms! The Corruption system and weak judicial system only helps smugglers to sell even more guns. They provide pistols, shotguns, rifles, assault rifles, grenades, and explosives! These guns are used against the people and military forces.

The Federal Government of Nigeria understands this situation and tries to find a solution. Still, it`s a complex problem. The government may need to ask help from residents of affected areas to patrol the borders together!

6. Porous borders; The borders in Nigeria are so poor and this enables the terrorist by entering the country and even transporting arms. When the borders are locked with security agencies guiding when they will not be able to enter into the country. Most areas in the north east should make strong borders!

7. Poor funding; This has been a Major factor of insecurity in Nigeria because the militaries lacks necessary funds from the Federal government so they can buy more arms to end insecurity in Nigeria. Security should be prioritized in the national budget.
