The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, on
Monday, said the Muhammadu Buhari administration is not overwhelmed by the
security challenges in the country.
Recall that former President, Olusegun Obasanjo had on
Sunday said the government of President Muhammadu Buhari is overwhelmed by
insecurity.
Obasanjo while reacting to the recent Kaduna train attack
said Nigerians travelling are no longer safe on the road, in the train and at
the airport
He called for concerted efforts to stem the tide of
insecurity in Nigeria, regretting that the Buhari administration had been
overwhelmed by the situation.
Reacting, Mohammed on a TVC programme, condoled with the
families of the victims, citing the various Federal Government’s efforts in
tackling the security challenges in the country.
He said the government is fast-tracking the installation of
some security gadgets on railway tracks to ensure adequate surveillance.
“The Federal Government is working toward ensuring that such
incident does not reoccur.
“One of the things that the government wants to do is to
fast-track the installation of a surveillance and monitoring system, not just
on the Abuja-Kaduna rail track.
“But also on the Lagos-Ibadan and Warri-Itakpe rail tracks
to ensure that at any given time we will be able to monitor from the control
room,’’ he said.
Mohammed claimed that in spite of the security challenges,
the military and other security personnel were doing their best and have
recorded successes in their fight against terrorism.
“ We must give kudos to our military; you know that we are
not fighting a conventional war but terrorism, hence the need for everyone to
support the security agencies so as to win over the menace.
“The Federal Government has also given the military the
enabling environment to continue in the fight against terrorism and banditry,’’
he said.
The minister also assured Nigerians of the Federal
Government’s commitment to ensure that every state is secured.
