The Deputy Senate
President, Ike Ekweremadu has pledged that the national assembly will legislate
appropriately to ensure funding for the re-launched the War Against
Indiscipline Brigade which has been renamed the Community Support Brigade if
the volunteers remain committed to their mandate.
The Senate President gave
this pledge at the flagging off ceremony of the Community Support Brigade
organized by the National Orientation Agency in Abuja
Senator Ekweremadu charged
the 3,000 volunteer members of the brigade to also help uncover security
threats in the society by providing relevant information as part of efforts to
stem terrorist activities in the country
Speaking earlier, the
Minister of Culture, tourism and national orientation, Edem Duke, charged
members of the brigade to justify the confidence reposed on them by making sure
they enforce good values and attitudinal change
While making an appeal for
budgetary allocation for the brigade, the Director General of NOA, Mike Omeri
said the agency has renamed and re-branded the brigade to make it more service
oriented and people friendly
War Against Indiscipline
Brigade, which was established in 1984, came to serve as a potent instrument to
instill discipline among Nigerians. The organization was then handed over to
the National Orientation Agency in 1993 as a voluntary outfit.
