Food Insecurity and Social Inequality Fueling Nigeria's Security Woes, Says Prof. Jawondo
According to Leadership, professor Ibrahim Jawondo, Director of the Centre for Peace and Strategic Studies at the University of Ilorin, has identified food insecurity, social injustice, and a lack of fairness as major contributors to Nigeria's ongoing security challenges.
He warned that unless these issues are adequately addressed, political leaders will continue to make futile efforts in resolving the nation's security crises.
Jawondo made these remarks while speaking at a peace-building workshop organised by Human's Light Humanitarian Foundation in Ilorin, Kwara State.
The workshop had: “Building a peaceful, unified, empathetic and inclusive community through a whole society approach ” as its theme.
The don emphasised the need for all Nigerians to return to farm, even if it's subsistence so that there can be food security and enough for all to eat.
He also urged the political leaders across the board to ensure social justice and fairness in their policies and programmes.
He said that security in society should be a collaborative effort of both the government and the citizens. He urged people to always be vigilant, mindful of the happenings around them, and provide useful information to security agencies for necessary action.

“This workshop is designed to improve the harmonious status of Kwara State. There are security challenges of different faces in Nigeria which require both kinetic and non kinetic measures to resolve. We must strive to maintain and sustain the peaceful coexistence of the state.”
