Quotes “The support was inspired by the mentorship I got from the governor of the state, Alhaji Muhammed Badaru Abubakar and his zeal in uplifting the people from poverty.” "Education remains the foundation for sustainable development, and we will continue to support our schools with the facilities they need." “We are confronted by hydra-headed challenges across the entire spectrum of our national life. Kidnapping, terrorism, armed robbery, and other violent crimes have become prevalent in almost every operational theatre of our society. “From the North-East to the North-West, the North-Central, the South-East, parts of the South-West, and the South-South, security incidents have almost become daily occurrences." “I am fully aware of the challenges facing the Nigeria Police Force in carrying out its statutory duty of internal security. Nigeria ranks among the countries with the lowest police-to-citizen ratios in the world. The police are overstretched, underfunded, under-equipped, and underpaid. These gaps, along with institutional weaknesses, have made policing a country as large and complex as Nigeria extremely difficult." “Recently, the Commissioner of Police in Zamfara called to say they urgently need vehicles. Even though we ourselves are short of vehicles, the Inspector-General cannot intervene because there are simply no funds,” “Their overhead allocations are insufficient. As of today, in November, they have only received funds up to July.” “The situation is dire. We must put our heads together to provide more funding for the Nigeria Police Force. Everything we are discussing today revolves around internal security, and internal security is the core responsibility of the police,” External links Category:Politicians from Nigeria Category:1969 births Category:Living people
