Disturbed by the spate of insecurity in Nigeria, the Minister of Police Affairs, Senator Ibrahim Gaidam, has asked the Nigeria Police Force to embrace a new strategy of proactivity and aggression to fight against the enemies of peace in the country.
He assured that the government would invest in modernizing the country's police to keep pace with emerging trends and technologies, explaining that the capacity of its personnel would be enhanced through the provision of state-of-the-art equipment and advanced training programmes while also fostering partnerships with international organizations and friendly nations to leverage their expertise and experiences for the benefit of the officers.
The minister noted that the defensive approach has emboldened the enemies and allowed them to grow stronger, adding that 'it is time to change the narrative, to shift the balance of power in our favour.' 'By being proactive, and taking the fight to the hideouts of the terrorists and bandits, we can weaken them, disrupt their plans, and ultimately defeat them,' he reiterated.
