Fayemi: FG, NGF, Security Agencies Synergising Against Insecurity
Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) and Ekiti State Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi, has said the governors and the federal government were already working together to bringing sponsors of banditry and insurgency in the country to book.
Fayemi, however, assured Nigerians that the federal government would not spare anyone found culpable in the sponsor of banditry and insurgency that had caused deaths and trauma to innocent people of the country.
Fayemi disclosed this in Ado-Ekiti, the state capital on Wednesday, when he received the executive of Federation of Ekiti State Students’ Union (FESSU), the National Female Students’ Association of Nigeria as well as students’ union leaders of higher institutions in the state.
Speaking during the meeting, which last some time, Fayemi reiterated President Muhammadu Buhari administration’s commitment “at ensuring that perpetrators of crimes are brought to book. No room would be allowed for impunity of any kind in the country”.
He further disclosed that the NGF under his watch had visited some of the affected northern states like Zamfara, Kebbi and Kaduna, where female students had been abducted and met with the governors to look at how the forum could assist security institutions there to retrieve abducted students.
The governor, however, promised to continue to form synergy and collaborate with students and students’ bodies to ensure their welfare and safety wherever they may find themselves in all parts of the country.
“It is a time all of us are concerned about the issue of insecurity and I must thank you for going beyond your immediate issue as students to raise the question that is agitating the minds of all Nigerians, security, particularly, security of our girl child.
National President of FESSU, Comrade Awolola Charles and the President of Female Students Association of Nigeria, Comrade Modupe Adetiba expressed their unreserved appreciation to Fayemi in his effort at ensuring students were well positioned to achieve their hearts’ desires for greatness.
