Remember WAI Brigade? Buhari has brought them back
President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday in Abuja, brought back War Against Indiscipline (WAI) Brigade, to help fight against insecurity, violence, kidnapping, and other forms of social vices.
The director general of National Orientation Agency (NOA), Garba Abari, in a meeting with the national and state commanders of Community Support Brigade/ WAI, with the theme, “Repositioning the WAI Brigade for enhanced civil intelligence gathering,” charged them to help tackle security challenges in the country.
Abari said “I commend members of the Community Support Brigade/WAI for their patriotic zeal towards a sanitised society. I will urge u to expand your tentacles and operations tackle insecurity by way of vigilance and cooperation with security agents.

“We must all join hands together to move our great nation forward through patriotism and love. NOA is working towards restructuring of CSB/WAI, which I believe this meeting will achieve through robust engagement and participation.”
WAI is a volunteered community service provider whose role is to help organise activities in the society and encourage values and discipline.
It was one of the programmes initiated by President Muhammadu Buhari in 1984, when he was the Military Head of State, to help instil discipline among citizens of Nigeria.
