July 11, 2023 • 3 min read

The Awujale and paramount ruler of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Adetona, has called for synergy among the security agencies in the country, to curtail the incessant killing, kidnapping and other crimes in the country.

The monarch said, ‘’National security is an issue that affects everyone and as such, all Nigerians must take it more seriously especially now that the country is facing challenges.

‘’Insecurity in Nigeria is multi-dimensional, any attempt to address the growing menace, make it effective and sustainable, needs to be holistic, skilfully combining ‘hard’, military solutions with ‘soft’ approaches aimed at tackling the socio-economic underpinnings of conflict and crime’’.

He commended the NIPPS members for their regular study tour of the state, urging them to find solutions to current climate change, emergency situations, security and other related issues that could jeopardise the growth and development of the country.

Members NIPPS also visited the Akarigbo and paramount ruler of Remoland, Oba Babatunde Ajayi, who called on government at the centre to always come up with more policies that would be of benefit to the well-being of the people.

According to him, “government should encourage Nigerians with more policies that would be of benefit to them, as well as the development of communities at large”.

He appealed to members of NIPPS to do more on research technology which would be beneficial to various communities, saying some areas were yet to be developed in ‘‘this modern age’’.

Responding, the leader of the delegation, Prof. Oluwafunmilayo Para-Mallam said her team was in the state to study Industrialisation, Climate Change and Energy Security, as mandated by the Federal Government.
