The Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, has charged Nigerians to take advantage of the N-Alerts Smartphone application to report security emergencies during the elections starting tomorrow.
The minister called on all Nigerians to download and make
use of the application to report any situation or incident in and around their
polling unit to the Ministry Inter-Agency Situation Room for a prompt response.
A statement by the ministry’s Director of Press, Ajibola
Afonja, said Aregbesola spoke on Friday while addressing officers manning the
Ministry Inter-Agency Situation Room.
The minister, who was in the company of the Permanent
Secretary, Dr Shuaib Belgore, directed that officers must be prompt in response
to incidents reported by Nigerians using the app.
The statement partly read, “I know you have been trained for
tomorrow’s assignment to ensure that you respond promptly to all incident
reports generated during the election exercise tomorrow.
“We have been on the media space advertising to Nigerians to
download the app and give us a real-time report of any incident, so ensure that
you don’t disappoint Nigerians,” the minister directed.
“You will recall that the Federal Government developed and
launched the Nigeria Internal Security and Public Safety Alert System
(N-Alerts) in May 2022 for Nigerians to send alerts to all security agencies in
the Ministry of Interior in real-time.”
