The International Centre for Investigative Reporting (The ICIR) has concluded plans to hold a conversation on Nigeria’s security challenge.

The Zoom dialogue will be held on Wednesday, January 14, 2021, with a theme, “Solving Nigeria’s Security Conundrum: The Pan-Nigerian Approach.”

The dialogue will attract leaders of various socio-political groups in Nigeria, including President-General of Ohaneze Ndigbo and Nigeria’s former Ambassador to the United States, Professor George Obiozor, and Chairman of Arewa Consultative Forum and former Minister of Agriculture, Audu Ogbeh.

Others are: Leader of Afenifere, Pa Ayo Adebanjo; former Senator representing Cross River South Senatorial District, Florence Ita Giwa; and Spokesman of the Northern Elders Forum, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed.

The dialogue is aimed at harvesting ideas that can help to halt Nigeria’s security challenge, ranging from kidnapping to banditry, terrorism to other security threats in the country.

The conversation is also expected to raise critical questions about Nigeria’s leadership problem and proffer solutions to ethnic, religious and other primordial tensions facing the country.

Executive Director of The ICIR, Dayo Aiyetan, says the dialogue is one of the investigative news platform’s means of contributing to the peace, harmony and democratic development of the country.

He hopes that issues slated for deliberation on July 14 would help to shape policies and strategies of the Federal Government to arrest some of the challenges facing the nation.

“The ICIR cannot afford to keep quiet when the nation is drifting towards anarchy,” says Aiyetan.

“We investigate a lot of critical issues and help to stem corruption, abuse of office and other vices in the country. We wish to take it further by galvanising dialogue on insecurity, which is important at this critical moment.”

Founded in 2010, the International Centre for Investigative Reporting (ICIR) is an independent, nonprofit news agency that seeks to promote transparency and accountability through robust and objective investigative reporting, with a mission to promote good governance and entrench democratic values by reporting, exposing, and combating corruption.

The ICIR is one of only three media organisations that pioneered investigative journalism outside the traditional newsroom and it has also spearheaded a programme of popularising a culture of investigative journalism by training reporters in other newsrooms.

Free Biafra before any order thing in this nation will work, the bloods of the slain in this nation are crying against the rulers, no one can rule this nation now and get it right, Hausa lgbo and Yoruba put together, the center can not hold again.

These sociocultural groups are the reason Nigeria started having ethno-religious conflict. They have no respect from their people, they lack electoral credibility and resorted to ethno-religious bigotry to get the sympathy of their gullible fanatics.
I don't like any of the group or people mentioned above, they're the most selfish Nigerians, always inciting violence, teaching youths bad manners.
