Were I in President Tinubu's shoes, I would send this Yelwata Security Bill 2025 to the National Assembly immediately in response to the Benue State massacre

Ayo Akinfe

[1] As from July 1 202025, every local government is compelled by law to register and licence all vigilante groups within its domain. Copies of this list are to be sent to the state police commissioner immediately

[2] Given that a lot of these herdsmen come into Nigeria from neighbouring countries, we are to establish 20 Nigerian Army battalions in strategic towns across the north east and northwest geo-political zones

[3] As proposed by the chief of defence staff, Nigeria is to commence the building of a fence along the borders with Chad/Cameroon/Niger

[4] State governments across the northeast and northwest are compelled by law to offer free uniforms and school meals to all youths in the area to encourage education

[5] We will get the Lake Chad Basin Authority to create 30,000 jobs in the northeast

[6] We will build six special high security prisons for Boko Haram fighters, northwest bandits and kidnappers where they can be trained and equipped with vocational skills

[7] Nigeria will establish a special paramilitary force similar to say the British SAS or US Navy Sealsm which will be trained in rescue missions to deal with matters like the Chibok girls

[8] Nigeria will establish special anti-terrorist brigades with bases in Damaturu, Dikwa, Chibok, Kaura Namoda, Daura, Gumel and Gwadabawa

[9] We will double soldiers allowances and offer a special bonus to anyone asked to serve in the northeast, northwest or Benue State

[10] Nigeria will sign foreign defence pacts with say South Africa and China which commits them to assisting us militarily, supplying equipment and training personnel to deal with security challenges
