I hope Bola Tinubu is aware of the fact that he needs to make a major security announcement soon to allay investor fears

Ayo Akinfe 

[1] Insecurity is by far our biggest problem in Nigeria today. For me, Tinubu’s first step to address this problem should be the appointment of a coordinating minister for security who will coordinate the affairs of the defence, police and internal affairs ministries 

[2] As things stand, foreign investors need to be assured that Nigeria is open for business, so Tinubu needs to take this step to vanish any doubts they might have 

[3] Tinubu should also appoint a coordinating minister of the economy who will oversee the finance, agriculture, labour & employment, trade & industry and petroleum ministries 

[4] Tinubu also needs to up the ante with the rest of the world in our fight against the likes of Boko Haram and Iswap. We can all see the calibre of military hardware being supplied to Ukraine. I am particularly gobsmacked with the high tech High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (Himras) units being delivered. They can hit targets about 300km away, are highly mobile and are fully digitised. Nigeria demands similar support in its fight against terrorism 

[5] I want the US, EU and UK to supply Nigeria with surveillance equipment, high tech drones and Himras systems that can enable us take out the likes of Boko Haram, Iswap, kidnappers, etc in their dens and forests. With a dozen Himras units, we can finish all the Boko Haram camps in Sambisa Forest 

[6] Since February 2022, the US has offered military aid of up to $7bn to Ukraine. Nigeria demands likewise 

[7] Similarly, the European Union has sent equipment worth €2.5bn to Ukraine since hostilities began 

[8] Not to be left out, the UK has equally sent £2.5bn worth of equipment to the Ukraine

 
[9] All these nations pledging to be friends of Nigeria need to be put on the spot. If they can do it for Ukraine, why can’t they do it for Nigeria?

[10] Tinubu also needs to launch a public works programme to provide jobs for up to 30m youths. This is to combat terrorism, kidnappings and banditry which appeal to our youths a lot at the moment
