OPINION BY GODWIN NJOKU: Looking beyond the Kaduna security report | TheCable

The Kaduna state government, under the leadership of Nasir El-Rufai, has worked harder to curb insecurity than any other state of the federation. The governor himself has shown more commitment than any of his peers in the search for better ways to curtail the menace of terrorism and sundry criminalities across the nooks and crannies of Nigeria.

Dispassionate observers would readily see the usefulness of publishing accurate reports of security breaches that involved loss of lives and property. In the specific case of Kaduna, factual reporting has showed that the ugly and regrettable incidents of terrorism in the state had not been targeted at any one group, or restricted to any one zone.

As noted earlier in the opening paragraph of this piece, the government of Kaduna state government, under Nasir El-Rufai, has showed appreciable zeal and strong commitment toward the development of a standard operating procedure , to tackle terrorism across the country. But nobody seems to be listening or paying heed to El- Rufai’s persistent call for a change of tactics. The mainstream media ought to pick up and amplify the various items in El-Rufai’s SOP.

El-Rufai has also been in the forefront of the campaign for the creation of state police. You really wonder why this has proved to be a hard nut to crack in Nigeria. We mockingly refer to state governors as chief security officers of their states. How do we expect them to secure their domains, when they’ve got absolutely no control over any security personnel? Yes, they can support the security forces with funds, logistics and accommodation.

The only security problem kaduna has is Mallam El Rufai
