Makarfi Urges Government to Prioritize Security in Nigeria

Makarfi asserts that the Nigerian government and state governments must prioritize security to effectively address the country's ongoing insecurity challenges. He reflects on the political landscape since the return to democracy in 1999, noting that while there have been achievements, the conduct of politicians has raised serious concerns regarding their ability to manage security issues.

Makarfi stresses that insecurity remains a significant problem affecting all sectors and that economic progress cannot be realized without first restoring security. He calls for a united approach among political leaders, religious leaders, and traditional rulers to address these challenges, emphasizing that political maneuvering should not distract from the government's primary responsibility to ensure safety.

Makarfi also highlights the need for adequate resources and manpower to enhance security forces, advocating for collaboration between federal and state governments to tackle insecurity effectively.
