Dambazau also said, with the “application of conflict resolution mechanisms”, some issues of security can be successfully tackled.
The former Minister of Interior made these statements in Abuja on Monday at the opening of a 3-Day Seminar on Leadership in National Security Course 5/2022 of the Nigerian Army Resource Centre (NARC).
The event organized in conjunction with with Peace Building Development Consult (PBDC), had military, other security agencies, and relevant stakeholders in attendance.
Dambazau said: “It is not every security issue that we can solve with the use of force. There are certain issues of security that require just the application of conflict resolution mechanisms.
“There are certain issues of security that require just good governance like the issues of health, education, environment, and so on, to tackle.
“So, once you get some of these issues right, you are bound to reduce violence within the society.
“You are bound to reduce criminality, violence, and so on and so forth.”
