Hunters Are Rescuing Security Personnel In Kogi, Gov Bello Urges NASS To Pass Bill

Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, has tasked the National Assembly on speedy passage of the Hunters Bill 2020 so hunters in the country can join in the fight against insecurity.

Governor Bello made the call when he received the Hunters Council of Nigeria on Saturday in Abuja.

According to the governor, Kogi has remained relatively peaceful because his administration brought in hunters to complement efforts of security agencies in the state.

“I will urge the National Assembly to pass this Bill into law so that we will be able to empower all of you to take the security head on.

“You can see exactly what our hunters are doing in Kogi State. Sometimes, they even rescue some of our security personnel.

“So, when every inch of the land is been represented by you, you need to secure every inch of the land.

“When we take care of every inch of the land, our communities will be safe, our roads will be safe, our local governments will be safe, our states will be safe and of course, our nation will be safe.

“I thank you for your support, for this your call, and for lending your voice and promising your support to this movement,” Bello said.

The hunters’ bill has passed first and second readings at both chambers of the National Assembly.
