Kalu Advocates Security Investment for Nigeria's Economy

Orji Uzor Kalu, the former governor of Abia State and current senator, emphasized the importance of investing in security as a means to achieve a better economy in Nigeria. During a visit to Sokoto State, where he received a souvenir from Governor Ahmadu Aliyu, Kalu discussed the impact of insecurity on Nigeria's economic aspirations.

He advocated for stringent measures to address the nation's security challenges, asserting that sustainable economic growth is contingent upon a secure environment. Kalu acknowledged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's efforts to expand the Nigerian economy, despite current macroeconomic difficulties.

He noted that while the economy may appear strong at a macro level, it has not adequately benefited ordinary Nigerians, partly due to prevailing security issues. Kalu expressed optimism that with the right investments in security, Nigeria could enjoy economic prosperity.
