 Nigerian youths have urged the federal government to provide more support for the armed forces. The youths of St. Leo's Church made the appeal at a prayer session for the nation's armed forces and other security agencies. Plus, TV news correspondent Emmanuel Olubo Bokun reports. Nigeria is experiencing a rise in insecurity. As non-state actors establish new killing fields, regular art sports have continued to record new incidents. These incidents caught across various locations. Successive governments have implemented different strategies to stem the tide. While the federal government deployed kinetic and non-kinetic measures, some state governments created regional and state-level quasi-security units to complement traditional agencies. However, not much has been done to properly encourage the armed forces in the area of welfare as their families face several mental crises. Security suits want narrative to change. There is insecurity going on in Nigeria today. The military has done a lot. They've done a lot. We as Nigerians need to support them, pray for them. They cannot do it alone. When you see something, you say it. Security Nigeria could be better than it is. There is room for continuous improvement. We would like Nigeria to be safe because of where there is peace, where there is security, there is progress. I would say we can and the civilians can play a part in helping our armed forces by giving them good intel as to who are the bad eggs amongst us. Some of them are not even Nigerians. They are foreigners who have come to filtrate the country. The Nigerian security right now, like you say, you give it a scale of 180 per cent. Though not our Nigerian armed forces are not trying, what I feel to me, I feel that we are now giving the right adequate facilities to work with. It is of the opinion that the government has a huge role to play in providing support for the security agencies, as they believe that regular provision will bring about success, while boosting the morale of the operatives to secure the nation. And those up there, I really want to appeal that they should support our armed forces with all the necessary platforms they need. They should support them with all the necessary platforms they need, because if they don't get these platforms, they cannot work. The government is doing their best, and we can only hope that they continue to do more when it comes to the armed forces. Like I said, there is always room for improvement. This Kaisen Fislaw III of the Japanese continues to improve. We have different armed forces in Nigeria, and we have a commander in chief, and I know that it's not easy, but what we always hope is that where the areas can improve, the less improve, so that we can have a safer Nigeria for all of us. Besides inadequate equipment, the welfare of the leaving soldiers and families of the fallen heroes is not accorded needed attention, an issue that has correlation with the combat effectiveness of those in the battle fronts. And let's say their welfare will largely determine the speed, the need, to read the nation of terrorism. Manu Udububukun, Plou Stevenius. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.
