An economist, Mr Opeyemi Agbaje, has urged the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, to decisively address the nation’s current insecurity woes.
He said, “If the incoming President makes himself clear and is decisive about tackling the challenges, he will succeed. I don’t think that the Nigerian military is that incompetent. There have been mixed signals; you can’t afford to have mixed signals if you must succeed in addressing insecurity in a complex country like Nigeria.
“Without that, the crime rate would keep rising as long as there is a broken economy and ineffective government. However, a combination of market and social policies is required to get the nation out of the current economic mess.” Also speaking, the FCMB Vice President, Corporate Affairs, Diran Olojo, noted that an informed media would help the country’s development and advance society.Olojo said, “At the FCMB, we are committed to constantly adding value to the media industry. Investing in the capacity-building of professionals in the industry is an essential part of our commitment to positively contributing to the media’s success.
“This capacity-building and interactive session serves as a tangible demonstration of our unwavering commitment to this cause. We believe responsible journalism is crucial in maintaining the credibility and integrity of the media. We encourage our colleagues and friends in the media to practise responsible journalism to benefit their organisations and society.
“By practising responsible journalism, media practitioners can build trust with their audiences, ensuring that the information disseminated is accurate, fair, and unbiased.”All rights reserved.
