Security agents
By Ifeoma Aka
An Enugu-based socio-cultural organisation, Igbo Oriental Think Tank Worldwide (IOTTW) has called for an overhaul of the nations security and electoral systems.
Its Coordinator, Dr. Kenneth Anozie, made the call in a statement issued in Enugu on Tuesday.
He said that the current realities in the country called for urgent steps by the Federal Government to strengthen the countrys security architecture and make the electoral process more credible.
Anozie suggested that appointment of heads of security agencies in the country should be made to reflect the federal character.
Headship of Nigerias security agencies should be equitably distributed among the geo-political zones in the country, he said.
The IOTTW coordinator also urged the Federal Government to intensify efforts towards stamping Boko Haram and other militant groups out of the country.
He said that most challenges plaguing the nation would be effectively tackled if the leadership showed the political will to promote national unity, enhance security and ensure credible polls.
Challenges such as corruption, youth restiveness, unemployment, security, and poverty will be over if the leadership listens to the yearnings of the people, he said. (NAN)
