Rep. Jeremiah Umaru (APC-Nasarawa) has called on President Bola Tinubu to overhaul the nation’s security architecture completely.

Mr Umaru, representing Nasarawa Eggon/Akwanga/Wamba Federal Constituency of Nasarawa, made the call while speaking with journalists on Monday in Abuja.

The lawmaker, who described the spate of insecurity in the country as ”worrisome”, urged the federal government to implement a robust security structure to guarantee the safety of lives and property.

” I expect a total overhaul of the security architecture of Nigeria because the security situation in the country has become a cankerworm,” the lawmaker said.

Decrying the spate of kidnapping for ransom, the lawmaker urged Mr Tinubu to appoint professionals in key positions to ensure the country’s security.

“So, we will initiate bills and motions to ensure military formations are formed and established in our various constituencies for the protection of our people,” he said.

Mr Umaru also commended the president for removing fuel subsidy and signing the student loan bill into law.

”In the long run, Nigerians will see the benefit of the total removal of subsidy,” he added.

Mr Umaru assured his constituents of quality representation, adding that he would initiate bills and motions to improve their lots.
