Pulse.ng : Tackling Insecurity in Nigeria Requires a Whole of Society Approach

By Muhammad Tijjani

Maj.-Gen. John Ochai, Commandant of the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA), has emphasized the need for a collective effort in addressing insecurity in Nigeria.

This was contained in a statement issued to newsmen on Wednesday in Kaduna by Maj. Mohammed Maidawa, the NDA's Public Relations Officer.

Ochai stressed that all citizens must play a role in providing information to security agencies to tackle insecurity effectively.

In his lecture, "Insecurity, Leadership and Peace Building in Nigeria: Dynamics and Challenges," Ochai noted that armed forces and security agencies can only create an enabling environment for lasting peace and security.

Ochai praised Afe Babalola University's founder, Emmanuel Aare Afe Babalola, for investing in education, healthcare, entrepreneurship, and environmental sustainability.

He highlighted how Babalola's efforts have sparked innovative ideas among students and staff, contributing to progress in various sectors.

The university, established in 2009, has become a reputable institution with six colleges, including medicine, law, engineering, and social sciences

During the interactive session, participants addressed security concerns and issues.

The lecture generated significant interest among students and staff, demonstrating the university's commitment to fostering informed discussions on critical national issues.

To commemorate the occasion, Ochai presented a souvenir to Babalola, further solidifying the partnership between the NDA and Afe Babalola University.
