SHETTIMA ENDORSES NON-KENETIC APPROACH IN FIGHTING INSECURITY IN SOUTH-EAST  

Nigerian Vice President, Kashim Shettima says the use of non-kinetic approach will achieve greater results in the fight against insecurity in South-Eastern region of the country.

The Vice president gave his nod to the approach when he received a delegation under the auspices of Peace in South- East Project (PISE-P).

The delegation was led by the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu to the Presidential Villa.

They had visited to present the non-kinetic approach initiative and also invite the vice president for the launch of the project that proposes a non-kinetic solution to the security crisis in that region.

In the press statement by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Office of the Vice President, Stanley Nkwocha, Shettima endorsed the approach.

He however, said the use of non-kinetic approach should be in addition to other initiatives that are already being explored.

“We need to build bridges, there is a need for a handshake, that way, those that have not been radicalised can be captured.

“Unless we want to engage in an endless war of attrition, a non-kinetic solution to the crisis in the South East must be explored and deployed. The most atrocious of wars are at the end of the day sorted out on the negotiation table."
