UNIABUJA Former VC Professor Nallah Calls for National Dialogue on Nigerian Insecurity Challenges

Professor Abdulrasheed Nallah, former Vice-Chancellor of the University of Abuja, has urged the Nigerian government to convene a national dialogue to address the country's growing insecurity.

The dialogue, he suggests, should focus on persistent banditry, religious intolerance, and the rising disharmony among Nigerian communities.

Nallah emphasizes the need for Nigerians to take ownership of their challenges, rather than relying on foreign intervention, warning against external actors who may exploit the nation's resources under the guise of religious or humanitarian motives.

He also recommends that the government conduct a census to document citizens living in remote areas, integrating them into the national framework while combating criminal elements. Nallah stresses the importance of tolerance and unity, declaring that Nigerians must see themselves as brothers and sisters, end hatred, share resources, and become responsible for one another.
