Security Is Everybody’s Business

Security is one very important business that cannot be left in the hands of the law enforcement agencies alone, but something that should start with us.
According to the Prime Minister of the Solomon’s Island, Hon. Manasseh Sogavane, “security must start with us. Security is everybody’s business; we cannot be complacent with the security of our nation nor can we assume that there will be no security threat”.
These words can be likened to the words of an active and responsible leadership.
Notwithstanding, the security issue in our state and our nation, at large cannot be over emphasized. From kidnapping to piracy, from piracy to oil theft to communal crises and a lot more. Kudos to the Governor of Rivers State, Chief Ezenwo Nyesom Wike, who has worked tirelessly to see that the security challenges in Rivers State are reduced to the minimum by providing for the Nigeria Police in Rivers State in order to fight crime, and have also provided information for the different law enforcement agencies in the state.
This issue of insecurity will not end until everyone assumes full responsibility of their roles.
Although at one time or the other some people had lost hope in the law enforcement agents, it is important to note that everyone should continue to work together to realize or achieve the Rivers dream as emphasized by the state governor. We must always respect each other and learn to uphold our values as good people of Rivers State.
