A chieftain of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, has urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to direct the consenting authority in security sector to provide uniform dress to security personnel twice a year for effectiveness and smarter service delivery in security management.
Ajadi stated this on Saturday in response to claim that most of the security personnel in the country are not adequately equipped with uniforms leading to many of them buying uniform dress on their own from their stores.
Ajadi, who was the gubernatorial candidate of the NNPP in Ogun state in the 2023 general elections, opined that providing the uniform dress twice a year will boost the personnel’s morale, making them looking more corporate and smart, stressing that it will also add to their effectiveness, bring about full-service delivery and general efficiency in the discharge of their duty to their fatherland.
He pointed out that there may not be respect for any security personnel, who looks haggard and tattered, hence, the need for the Federal government under the leadership of President Bola Tinubu to make our security personnel look more smarter, sharper and decent in the discharge of their duties.
According to him, “The additional uniform yearly will go a long way in encouraging, strengthening and promoting professionalism in the security services.
“Providing uniform dress twice a year, no doubt will stand them out in any gathering and it is meant to further boost the morale and professionalism, pride and commitment as well as effectiveness of the security personnel.
“It will also reflects the civility and character, the peaceful nature of the security personnel, depicting commitment in defending the defenseless in the country.”
