It is…shocking to read that the Federal Government has maintained the award of the contract to “protect” the country’s pipeline from vandals to private organisations. This story, if true, leaves a sour taste in the mouth. The National Security Adviser will, obviously, not advise the president to approve the award of a contract of such magnitude if the operators have not displayed sufficient capacity to checkmate the criminal activities of equally powerful groups.
The Federal Government, through the Office of the National Security Adviser, has been consistent in its refusal to accede to the request of some states of the federation to strengthen the complementary initiatives adopted to protect lives and property. This is done in spite of the knowledge that the issues which necessitated the creation of these outfits support the provision of adequate weaponry.
The engagement of private organisations to handle serious security challenges reinforces the belief that the whole defence architecture in the country needs an urgent overhaul. The Federal Government cannot be seen to be playing the Ostrich in this regard.
