The Director General, National Orientation Agency (NOA) Dr Garba Abari made the announcement in Abuja on the occasion of the National and State Commanders meeting of the Community Support Brigade (CSB).
"In
this era of insecurity, violence, kidnapping, and other forms of social
vices, the role of the Brigade in civil intelligence gathering cannot
be over emphasized", he said.
“The
present administration has declared its intention to re-launch the
Brigade for better performance and bring its activities to the fore”
Abari stated, charging members of the Brigade to contribute their quota
to make the Change mantra of this administration a reality.
In his remarks, the WAI Brigade National Commander, Mustapha Muhammad charged members to sustain the tempo of responsibility despite non-funding from the government for over three decades.
He
called on the federal government to officially recognize and gazette
the Brigade as it is the only voluntary organization in Nigeria.
He therefore urged NOA to work out modalities for the recognition of the WAI Brigade for greater efficiency.
In 1984, President Buhari and Tunde Idiagbon
launched the WAI programme to instill public morality, social order,
civic responsibilities in Nigerians, and promote Nigerian nationalism.
Recall that a pro-Buhari group, Change Ambassadors of Nigeria
had in April, 2015, urged President Buhari (then president-elect) to
re-introduce the War Against indiscipline (WAI) as soon as he is sworn
in on May 29, 2015.
My people abeg how una feel about this project? shey this kind level na our priority right now? Sometimes there are more questions than answers..
