Insecurity: Union Calls For Tactical Review

The Association of Se
nior Staff of Banks, Insurance and Financial Institutions (ASSBIFI) has called on the Federal Government to urgently review its security strategies to safeguard lives and properties in the country.
A statement issued by the union on Friday and  signed by its National President, Comrade  Sunday Salako, shortly after  the union’s National Executive Council (NEC) meeting held in Benin,  Edo State, urged  the Federal government to  redouble  its efforts towards improving the security situation in the country.
In a communiqué released by the union’s NEC, members frowned at the  increasing level of insecurity in the northern part of the country particularly in the North-Eastern States of Yobe, Borno and Adamawa.
The union’s NEC meeting outlined empowerment  schemes for members of the union to enhance their productivity and welfare.
The schemes as stated in the communiqué include affordable housing provision through mortgage and good  legal protection insurance at low premium rate.
To ensure effective implementation of the schemes, the union set up committees to interface with the appointed consultants to work out modalities for the schemes.
The union said under the legal protection of the scheme, an enrollee would pay a premium of five thousand naira per annum covering issues including will, property agreement and legal representation in times of need.
The communiqué  urged union  executives of the union throughout the  country to  encourage their members to embrace welfare.
