A nationwide pressure group, The Nigeria People’s Project (PPP), has raised serious concerns over Nigeria’s escalating insecurity, warning that the future of the younger generation is at risk due to persistent violent conflicts between herders and farmers.
In a statement released on Sunday by its chairman, Lateef Gbenga Ganiyu, and secretary, James Jibrin, the group expressed deep worries about the ongoing crisis. They pointed out that numerous farmers are being displaced from their ancestral lands, while urban dwellers continue to suffer significant financial losses due to criminal activities such as banditry and kidnapping.
Commendation for Government Efforts
The PPP acknowledged that these security challenges had remained unresolved for years. However, they noted that since the current administration took office, there has been notable progress in tackling insecurity.
The group commended President Bola Tinubu for his strategic appointments, emphasizing that his selection of credible service chiefs has strengthened national security. They particularly praised the Chief of Defence Staff for his bold initiatives in combating terrorism, which have been instrumental in addressing the security crisis.
Call for Unity and Enhanced Security Measures
Advocating for national unity, the PPP stressed the need for stronger collaboration among Nigerians to achieve lasting peace. They stated, “We must emphasize unity and harmony among citizens to secure a peaceful nation.”
Additionally, the group urged security agencies to ensure that as the rainy season approaches, farmers can safely return to their lands without the fear of attacks from bandits and other criminal elements.
They further highlighted the importance of leveraging the experience and expertise of security forces, noting, “With the Chief of Defence Staff’s expertise, security forces should intensify their efforts to eradicate this menace.”
A Commitment to a Safer Nigeria
Reaffirming their dedication to promoting security and stability, the PPP assured Nigerians of their continued advocacy for peace and progress. They concluded with a message of hope, stating, “We remain committed to supporting initiatives that enhance national security and create a safer Nigeria for all.”
