A CALL FOR SWIFT ACTION TO END INSECURITY IN NORTHERN NIGERIA

Ending Insecurity in Northern Nigeria: A Call for Swift Action - Haruna Abubakar Bebeji 
The recent abduction of female students at the Federal University in Gusau, Zamfara State, is not just an isolated incident; it is a stark reminder that banditry poses a serious security threat to Nigeria. The attack not only traumatized the victims and their families but also serves as a national humiliation. It is high time President Bola Tinubu moves beyond mere statements and implements effective strategies to permanently end the perpetual security breaches in the once revered region.

The audacity with which the bandits invaded the female hostels, capturing 30 students and escaping effortlessly into the forest, exposes the chronic security failures in North-West Nigeria. The absence of any security presence to deter such attacks is deeply concerning and allows banditry to persist.

While President Tinubu, echoing his predecessor, ordered the military to rescue all the students, the repeated statements carry little weight as banditry continues to metastasize. It is disheartening to witness the leader of our nation prioritize foreign affairs while the flames of insecurity rage at home. It is imperative that Tinubu confronts this harsh reality and takes decisive action to prevent his tenure from mirroring the failures of previous leaders.

The situation in Northern Nigeria demands immediate attention and resolute action. It is no longer enough to issue statements of condemnation; robust strategies are needed to tackle the root causes of banditry and address the security vacuums that persist.
First and foremost, there must be a significant increase in security personnel and resources in affected regions. The current state of affairs allows for these criminals to operate with impunity, undermining the safety and stability of communities. Enhancing security measures and deploying well-equipped forces to strategic locations will serve as a deterrent and ensure timely response to any threat.

Additionally, Tinubu should prioritize intelligence gathering and information sharing amongst security agencies. Collaboration and coordination among various departments can help identify and dismantle criminal networks, disrupting their activities and preventing future attacks.

Moreover, engaging with local communities and offering support programs is essential. Addressing the underlying socioeconomic issues that breed insecurity is crucial to weakening the influence of banditry. Investment in education, job creation, and infrastructural development will not only uplift these marginalized regions but also dissuade vulnerable individuals from resorting to criminal acts.

In conclusion, the incessant insecurity situations in Northern Nigeria demand urgent and decisive action. President Tinubu must face the grim reality and take swift measures to guarantee the safety and well-being of Nigerian citizens. It is time to translate words into action, to restore peace and prosperity to a region that was once revered. The time for change is now, and decisive leadership is the key to ending the menace of banditry and restoring the nation's confidence in its security apparatus.

An applause is indeed in order for these truly transformative endeavors that have left the state speechless.

Because when the people are hungry, forget about sustainable long-term solutions or investments in industries to

MUHAMMADU SANUSI'S BETRAYAL OF JUSTICE: A WARNING AGAINST PERSONAL GAIN - Haruna Abubakar Bebeji  In the realm of social justice and the pursuit of rights, it is disheartening to witness individuals who were once hailed as champions of the people, suddenly betraying the very cause they were supposed to fight for. Recent events have shed light on one such individual, who, despite his previous reputations, has shown a complete disregard for justice and the rights of the people.
