Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Sultan of Sokoto, His Eminence Alhaji Muhammad Sa\u2019ad Abubakar III, has called on the Nigerian government to urgently equip security agencies with modern gadgets and technology to effectively tackle the rising insecurity across the country.<\/p>\n

He insisted that no society can develop in the absence of peace.<\/p>\n

The monarch made the appeal on Thursday when the Commandant General of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Dr. Ahmed Abubakar Audi, paid him a courtesy visit at his palace in Sokoto.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a retired military officer, I feel it deep down in my heart, the security situation in our country is critical,\u201d the Sultan stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo society can develop in an atmosphere of insecurity. No matter how wealthy people are, they cannot enjoy their riches if there is no adequate peace in their environment.\u201d<\/p>\n

He emphasized the need for the government to prioritize national security by empowering security outfits with advanced tools and adequate resources.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must use modern technology, intelligence, and proper planning to stay ahead of criminal elements threatening our nation,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The Sultan also urged all security agencies to remain vigilant and proactive in discharging their duties.<\/p>\n

\u201cSecurity outfits must ensure our nation is safe and secure at all times,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

In his remarks, Dr. Ahmed Audi said his visit to Sokoto was part of a nationwide tour to interact with NSCDC personnel, assess challenges on the ground, and strengthen operational efficiency.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is our tradition to visit the palace and seek parental blessings from His Eminence the Sultan before proceeding with our duties,\u201d Dr. Audi noted.<\/p>\n

The NSCDC boss thanked the Sultan for his consistent support and called for continued collaboration between traditional institutions and security agencies to promote peace and resolve conflicts across Nigeria.<\/p>\n
