Why security hasn’t improved in Nigeria – Researcher

A researcher and public policies analyst, Dan Mou, said on Monday that the worsening insecurity in the country is due to successive governments’ failure to proffer deeper solutions to address the problems from their roots.

“The situation of security got worse under the last government. And as this government came. Aside from changing the leadership, they have not really done anything significant about this,” said Mr Mou, the executive chairperson of the Centre for Poverty Eradication, Development and Equal Opportunity.

The author of different books focusing on governance, security, poverty, and national security said that instead of addressing the problems, “the policies that have been introduced so far are the ones that have made things worse in terms of poverty and unemployment.”
