The Deputy Majority Leader of the House of Representatives, Abdullahi Halims has reiterated the Federal Government’s commitment to tackling insecurity and all forms of violence across the country.
The country has witnessed a rise in violent incidents, one of which prompted President Bola Tinubu on November 26 to declare a state of emergency and order the recruitment of additional security personnel.
Speaking in Abuja at the launch of From Silence to Strength, a book authored by Jennifer Alih, Halims said the government remained committed to addressing the growing insecurity.
He added that the National Assembly was ready to strengthen existing laws and introduce new ones where necessary to curb violence and insecurity.
He said, “You can see that the government is very determined to curb violence, banditry and insecurity. The APC government is doing very well in that regard.
“There are existing laws we can review, we can enact further, we can make amendments that’s what lawmaking is all about. My duty is to ensure the laws are enacted.”
