The Nation Newspaper Why Nigeria must end insecurity now, by Shettima, Gowon, ex-CJN Mukhtar, Shittu
Eminent Nigerians including Vice President Kashim Shettima and ex-Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon have spoken about the urgent need for the country to put an end to its lingering security challenge.While Vice President Shettima assured that the President Bola Tinubu administration was determined to end insecurity, others noted that it would be difficult to attain development in the absence of peace.
The Vice President, who was represented by his Special Adviser on General Duties, Dr. Aliyu Modibbo Umar urged all to support Federal Government’s efforts to address the challenge of insecurity. Shettima said: “For far too long, Nigeria has been under the threat of terrorist organizations like Boko Haram, who seek to erase existence through violence.
“They serve as indispensable resources for informing policy reforms and driving national development. “Boko Haram has indeed created a serious problem. After the civil war, l remember saying, I hope that we will not experience what we went through during that period again. Unfortunately, Boko Haram appeared.”
The ex-Head of State said the second book, on the last general elections, outlines crucial lessons to be learnt for strengthening democracy and good governance in Nigeria.
