HON. ABAYOMI SHEBA SEEKS COLLECTIVE EFFORTS TO END INSECURITY IN NIGERIA.
By Princess Eigbokhan Orih.

Nigeria has been faced with the problem of insecurity for a while now. This has affected the country’s economy growth, social lives of the citizens, infrastructural development, agriculture, decrease in foreign direct investment, reduction in productivity, escalate corruption at all levels, likely national isolation, community’s development, increase in brain drain, the struggle for survival undermines innovation, education, healthcare etc.


What is happening in Nigeria today, is an amplification of news coverage on insecurity in a nation this can make things look worse to other countries than they really are and this can reduce the confidence of foreign investors in such a nation that need foreign investment where
Unemployment is a national issue.


According to hon. Abayomi Sheba Esq. One of the major responsibilities of government is the protection of lives and property of its citizens. This means protection from danger or threats to public safety and the ability of the state to protect and promote its values and interests, towards the enhancement of the wellbeing of its people. (Elected and appointed leaders from local government level to the presidency).


Hon. Abayomi Sheba explain the need why Nigerians must collectively come together to find a solution to these challenging security situations that have put all of us on the edge. As Government has a role to play in facilitating this national engagement. It is time to forget politics, ethnicity, ideological and religious sentiments which only seek to continuously divide and hold us captive. Because Security is what can give citizens the space to reflect and be creative and innovative in any given society.


However, Abayomi Sheba said Nigeria needs exceptional leaders at this time of national crisis. Leaders that stands for the interest of the citizens. Leaders who are visionary, understanding and posses the qualities of great leadership, bringing the interest of the citizens first before their personal interest. Because Insecurity is a feeling of uncertainty, a lack of confidence or anxiety about oneself. If the Causes of Insecurity if not resolved, this can have a lasting and harmful impact. When a person, a country or state is faced with insecurity for a long time, this will create doubt, distrust and other negative feelings and this may have a lasting and significant effect in the lives of the populace and the government.

The seasoned and renowned leader said Nigerians are creative people. Nigerians in Diaspora are among the leaders in innovation and in change in many sectors. But here in Nigeria survival has become the overriding consideration for many people. Heightened insecurity has made a lot of people become more risk averse in terms of the places they go to and the people they interact with. Traveling from one city to another in Nigeria has become a game of chance and death dodging for many people. Under such atmosphere creativity is diminished and innovation is a back seat. Whereas, innovation takes a vital engine needed to drive change and growth in Nigeria and Africa as a whole.
