Governor of Ekiti State, Kayode Fayemi has called for a national response to tame insecurity in Nigeria.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that Fayemi, on Monday, said an “isolated strategy” cannot work in respect of the insecurity situation being experienced in northern Nigeria.
Fayemi stated this while speaking virtually at the 2022 annual lecture of the Murtala Muhammed Foundation with the theme, ‘Beyond Boko Haram: Addressing insurgency, banditry and kidnapping across Nigeria’.
He said: “The leadership in most affected states in the North-East, especially Borno, has been up to the task in terms of its response to forging a new compact between state and society. Yet, it is clear that what is required is a comprehensive national response and not an isolated state strategy.
“I believe this must also include a whole country sensitisation programme that understands and subliminally internalises the problem as one that will consume all if not addressed and not a challenge that is exclusively Borno or Kanuri-centric.”
Also speaking at the event was former President, Olusegun Obasanjo.
