MINISTER of Police Affairs, Navy Captain Caleb Olubolade (retd), has charged Nigerians to make the promotion of internal peace and security the focal point of their resolutions in 2013.
According to him, “Nigerians must recognise the fact that security has remained the most challenging of the nation’s problems over the past few years and need to get more involved in the concerted efforts by government to tackle it,” noting that without the support and full cooperation of the people, security agencies could not achieve desired results.
Olubolade, in his New Year message, said in spite of the myriad of challenges posed by the activities of agents of destabilisation in the country, a lot was achieved by the Nigeria Police and other security agencies as seen in the reduction in terrorist activities, robbery and other criminal activities, especially towards the end of the year.
He ascribed the relatively peaceful atmosphere under which Nigerians celebrated Christmas to the alertness of the police, in concert with other relevant agencies, as well as the cooperation of well-meaning citizens who provided useful information which helped in curtailing the activities of miscreants.
The New Year, he said, “holds a lot of promises for the people, as government would build on the visible accomplishments of 2012 to ensure a freer and more secure environment for them to operate.”
