ABUJA – Chief of Army Staff, Attahiru Ibrahim has implored Senate to improve funding so as to be able to tackle insecurity facing the country.
The army chief said Nigeria is faced with a lot of security challenges that include insurgency in the north-east, banditry in the north-west and parts of north-central, as well as secessionist agitations in the south-east.
In a statement, Ibrahim said “To curb and finally defeat these threats, the Nigerian army requires equipment, weapons, armor fighting vehicles, platforms, and various combat enablers,” he said.
“I urge you to, as a matter of urgency, consider these critical needs as you legislate and appropriate funds.
“I will be counting on your support so that we can efficiently perform our constitutional roles and defeat all our threats.”
