In the last few years, the level of insecurity in Nigeria has escalated; from terrorist insurgencies to serial kidnappings. Thus Interior Minister, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo has given a clue on how to curb insecurity in Nigeria.
The minister stated that insecurity in the country is as a result of the borders not being secured. He noted that insecurity can be reduced by 70% if the county’s borders are secured.
Olubunmi Ojo who was a special guest at a breakfast meeting organized by Business Day, a news outlet in Abuja disclosed this during the meeting.
According to him if Nigeria fails to secure its border and security outfits there will be a lot of pressure in the country.
Speaking further he added that aside issuance of passports, it is the responsibility of the Ministry of Interior to secure the country’s borders.
He said, “I have no excuse whatsoever not to secure the nation’s borders. We must work the talk in line with the present administration’s slogan of Renewed Hope. Also, any country that cannot critically analyse, dictate and determine who comes in and who goes out of its country is prone to insecurity,” he stated.
