The Chairman of Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Niger State Council, Comrade Abu Nmodu, has said that strategic control of small arms and light weapons will improve security challenges confronting the Country.

Comrade Abu Nmodu made the statement when the new Zonal-Director of the National Centre for the Control of Small Arms and light Weapons (NCCSALW),  North-Central Zone, Abdul Adamu Eneche, paid him a courtesy visit at the IBB Pen House in Minna.

The Chairman who  expressed deep concern over the proliferation of illegal weapons, expressed the readiness of the Union to strengthen it’s relationship with the Centre to reduce the menace in the society.

He commended the Zonal-Director for recognizing the roles being played by journalists in the campaign against such menace and  pledged the Union’s support to achieve the set objectives.

Earlier, the Zonal-Director of the Centre, Eneche, said the visit was part of advocacy and sensitization to critical stakeholders with the view to eliminating small arms and light weapons in the Zone.

He attributed various forms of threats in the country including insurgency, communal as well as  Fulani and herders clashes, kidnapping and cattle rustling, to prevalence of illegal arms which calls for collective effort to eradicate.

He lamented that criminals were taking advantage of unmanned borders to import illegal arms as they have deviced several means of concealing the arms like Jerry cans, and  bags of rice among others.
