Now that insecurity has taken over from power supply as our number one problem, President Buhari has to make restoring peace in the northeast where weapons enter Nigeria his main priority over the next two years. He needs a programme that looks like this

Ayo Akinfe

[1] Register and licence local vigilante groups in all 774 local government areas

[2] Establish 20 battalions of the Nigerian Army in strategic towns across the north east

[3] Commence building of a tow of trees along the borders with Chad/Cameroon/Niger to actually tell us where Nigeria starts

[4] Offer free uniforms and school meals to all youths in the northeast to encourage education

[5] Get the Lake Chad Basin Authority to create 30,000 jobs in the northeast

[6] Build six special high security prisons for Boko Haram fighters where they can be trained and equipped with vocational skills

[7] Establish a special paramilitary force which will be trained in rescue missions to deal with matters like the Chibok girls

[8] Establish a special anti-terrorist brigade in say Damaturu

[9] Double soldiers allowances and offer a special bonus to anyone asked to serve in the northeast

[10] Sign foreign defence pacts with say South Africa and Ecowas which commits them to assisting military, supplying equipment and training personnel
