A non-profit organisation, the Initiative for Economic Development Communication has unveiled a report to help address the spate of insecurity in Nigeria.
The report titled “Unravelling Nigeria’s Insecurity crisis: The urgent need for a lasting solution,” recommends regional and international collaboration, humanitarian and conflict resolution, strategic security policy and legal framework, and a problem-specific approach to address the multifaceted nature of insecurity across different regions.
According to a statement signed by the INSDEC Executive Vice president, Ogie Eboigbe and Chief Executive Officer, PSJ-UK, Ayo Adedoyin on Tuesday, the report also calls on the government to recognize and address the underlying causes of insecurity, which stem from failures in governance and leadership.
Ogie lamented the cost of insecurity, explaining that it remains alarmingly high and shows no sign of abating, underscoring the urgent need for targeted measures from all stakeholders to confront and mitigate its impact.
Making recommendations, he stated the need for regional and international collaboration, humanitarian and conflict resolution, strategic security policy and legal framework.
The report said considering the major role of the government in finding lasting solutions to the crisis, it added that the government must recognise and address the underlying causes of insecurity, which stem from failures in governance and leadership.
