- Nigeria has been experiencing series of security challenges ranging from kidnappings to banditry, insurgency to militancy, armed robbery to cultism, calls for secession among several others.
Seeking foreign support to tackle the myriad of security challenges in the country does not mean the Federal Government lacks the capacity to address the issue.
This is according to the Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule, who said countries usually call for help during war situations.

“Even if you bring somebody from outside, he has to understand your environment. Our (security) personnel understand our environment and they are doing the best they can do.”
