As Nigeria continues to battle various security challenges, some stakeholders in the education sector have urged the government to prioritise research in internal security.
The stakeholders including researchers, industry experts, and policymakers gave their recommendations at the 4th Education Writers Association of Nigeria (EWAN) Summit in Lagos on Wednesday.
In his keynote address, the former Vice-chancellor of the University of Lagos, Oluwatoyin Ogundipe, observed that Nigeria’s efforts at driving economic growth may be fruitless if research in internal security that will ensure the safety of investment, and protect the welfare of citizens and resources, is not prioritised.
