2
00:00:03,960 –> 00:00:07,879
of emergency over growing insecurity in the West Africa country

3
00:00:08,279 –> 00:00:11,400
and as such band open grazing with a call on

4
00:00:11,480 –> 00:00:15,199
Herder’s Association to tell their members to surrender illegal weapons

5
00:00:15,240 –> 00:00:17,960
in their possession and as well gave a matching order

6
00:00:18,000 –> 00:00:21,359
to the Department of State Services d SS to recruit

7
00:00:21,399 –> 00:00:24,800
more forest guards to chase away terrorists and bandits from

8
00:00:24,839 –> 00:00:29,440
all forests in Nigeria. President Bola Hmed Tanubu also called

9
00:00:29,440 –> 00:00:32,759
on members of the National Assembly to review existing laws

10
00:00:32,799 –> 00:00:37,200
in Nigeria and give rules for the establishment of state Police.

11
00:00:37,240 –> 00:00:41,200
In his words, President Bola Armed Tanubu, while declaring the

12
00:00:41,240 –> 00:00:45,759
state of emergency on security matters on Wednesday, said, today,

13
00:00:46,119 –> 00:00:49,640
in view of the emerging security situation, I have decided

14
00:00:49,640 –> 00:00:53,719
to declare a nationwide security emergency and order additional recruitment

15
00:00:53,759 –> 00:00:57,880
into the armed forces. By this declaration, the police and

16
00:00:57,960 –> 00:01:01,840
the Army are authorized to recruit more personnel. The police

17
00:01:01,880 –> 00:01:05,799
will recruit an additional twenty thousand offices, bringing the total

18
00:01:05,840 –> 00:01:10,200
to fifty thousand. Although I had previously approved the nationwide

19
00:01:10,319 –> 00:01:14,519
upgrade of police training facilities, the police authorities are by

20
00:01:14,560 –> 00:01:18,519
this statement authorized to use various National Youth Service Corps

21
00:01:18,560 –> 00:01:23,079
camps as training depots. The offices being withdrawn from VIP

22
00:01:23,359 –> 00:01:26,640
guard duties should undergo crash training to debrief them and

23
00:01:26,719 –> 00:01:30,840
deliver more efficient police services when deployed to security challenged

24
00:01:30,879 –> 00:01:35,040
areas of the country. The DSS also has my authority

25
00:01:35,079 –> 00:01:38,560
to immediately deploy all the forest guards already trained to

26
00:01:38,640 –> 00:01:41,879
flush out the terrorists and bandits lurking in our forests.

27
00:01:42,640 –> 00:01:46,000
The agency also has my directive to recruit more men

28
00:01:46,079 –> 00:01:49,319
to man the forests. There will be no more hiding

29
00:01:49,359 –> 00:01:53,480
places for agents of evil. My fellow Nigerians, this is

30
00:01:53,519 –> 00:01:57,000
a national emergency and we are responding by deploying more

31
00:01:57,040 –> 00:02:02,040
boots on the ground, especially in security Chalne. The times

32
00:02:02,159 –> 00:02:06,120
require all hands on deck. As Nigerians, we should all

33
00:02:06,159 –> 00:02:09,759
get involved in securing our nation. Let me take this

34
00:02:09,919 –> 00:02:13,639
moment to commend our security agencies for working together to

35
00:02:13,680 –> 00:02:16,719
secure the release of the twenty four schoolgirls in keb

36
00:02:16,879 –> 00:02:20,479
and the thirty eight worshipers in Quira State. We will

37
00:02:20,520 –> 00:02:24,000
continue to sustain the efforts to rescue the remaining students

38
00:02:24,000 –> 00:02:27,479
of Catholic School in Niger State and other Nigerians still

39
00:02:27,520 –> 00:02:31,199
being held hostage. To the leadership and rank and file

40
00:02:31,280 –> 00:02:35,759
of our armed forces, I commend your courage and your sacrifice.

41
00:02:35,800 –> 00:02:38,280
This is a challenging moment for our nation and for

42
00:02:38,360 –> 00:02:42,719
the military institution itself. I charge you to remain resolute

43
00:02:43,039 –> 00:02:46,280
to restore peace across all theaters of operation and to

44
00:02:46,360 –> 00:02:50,439
uphold the highest standards of discipline and integrity. There must

45
00:02:50,439 –> 00:02:55,639
be no compromise, no collusion, and no negligence. The Nigerian

46
00:02:55,680 –> 00:02:59,120
people are counting on you, and this administration will provide

47
00:02:59,120 –> 00:03:03,520
the support you need to succeed. In addition, our administration

48
00:03:03,639 –> 00:03:07,159
will support state governments which have set up security outfits

49
00:03:07,159 –> 00:03:10,439
to safeguard their people from the terrorists bent on disrupting

50
00:03:10,479 –> 00:03:14,120
our national peace. I call on the National Assembly to

51
00:03:14,159 –> 00:03:17,360
begin reviewing our laws to allow states that require state

52
00:03:17,439 –> 00:03:22,280
police to establish them. States should rethink establishing boarding schools

53
00:03:22,319 –> 00:03:26,960
in remote areas without adequate security. Mosques and churches should

54
00:03:26,960 –> 00:03:30,560
constantly seek police and other security protection when they gather

55
00:03:30,639 –> 00:03:35,960
for prayers, especially in vulnerable areas. Our administration created the

56
00:03:36,000 –> 00:03:40,400
Livestock Ministry to address the persistent clashes between herders and farmers.

57
00:03:41,159 –> 00:03:44,479
I call on all herder associations to take advantage of

58
00:03:44,520 –> 00:03:49,120
it and open grazing and surrender illegal weapons. Ranching is

59
00:03:49,159 –> 00:03:53,159
now the path forward for sustainable livestock farming and national harmony.

60
00:03:53,840 –> 00:03:57,719
The Federal government, in collaboration with the States, will work

61
00:03:57,759 –> 00:04:01,479
with you to solve this problem once and for all.

62
00:04:01,800 –> 00:04:04,719
I sympathize with the families who have lost their loved

63
00:04:04,719 –> 00:04:10,280
ones in recent attacks on soft targets in keb Borno, Zamfara, Niger,

64
00:04:10,599 –> 00:04:14,719
Yobei and Kuira States. I also pay tribute to our

65
00:04:14,759 –> 00:04:18,959
brave soldiers who have made the ultimate sacrifice, including Brigadier

66
00:04:19,040 –> 00:04:22,720
General Muso Uber. Those who want to test our resolves

67
00:04:22,759 –> 00:04:27,360
should never mistake our restraint for weakness. This administration has

68
00:04:27,399 –> 00:04:30,319
the courage and determination to keep the country safe and

69
00:04:30,480 –> 00:04:34,319
ensure our citizens live in peace. I sympathize with the

70
00:04:34,360 –> 00:04:37,519
families who have lost their loved ones in recent attacks

71
00:04:37,560 –> 00:04:42,759
on soft targets in keb Borno, Zamfara, Niger, Yobei and

72
00:04:42,879 –> 00:04:47,000
Kuira States. I also pay tribute to our brave soldiers

73
00:04:47,000 –> 00:04:51,480
who have made the ultimate sacrifice, including Brigadier General Muso Uber.

74
00:04:52,319 –> 00:04:55,600
Fellow compatriots. I urge you not to give inter fear

75
00:04:55,720 –> 00:04:59,720
and never succumb to despair. Let’s stand together in purpose

76
00:04:59,720 –> 00:05:03,279
and s strength to defend our freedom and values. Our

77
00:05:03,360 –> 00:05:07,800
administration will continue to guarantee peaceful co existence and preserve

78
00:05:07,879 –> 00:05:12,319
our union. I urge all Nigerians to remain calm and vigilant,

79
00:05:12,720 –> 00:05:17,680
report suspicious activities, co operate with security agencies. We are

80
00:05:17,720 –> 00:05:21,480
in this fight together and together we shall win. May

81
00:05:21,560 –> 00:05:25,399
God continue to bless Nigeria and keep our armed forces safe.

82
00:05:27,399 –> 00:05:32,120
Aldi bringing you bring in a morgical way
