THE Commandant of the Nigerian Army School of Education (NASE), Sobi Barracks, Ilorin, Brig.-Gen. L. F. Abdullahi, has deplored the present state of insecurity in some parts of Nigeria.

He said insecurity remained the worst trauma that could confront man and societies, but with a caveat that if all Nigerians would collectively fight the scourge of the insurgents; the nation would soon release itself from the grip of terror.

Abdullahi, who noted that absolute confidence in the new government of President Muhammadu Buhari to chart the way forward, just as he believed that the nation’s military as an institution could never be over-powered by the insurgency, stated this yesterday in his keynote address at the Conference of the National Association of Health Educators (NAHE) held at the University of Ilorin with the theme “Health Security and Society.”

The NASE Commandant said that there could not be peace of mind when a society is confronted with insecurity, adding that the social and economic productivity in such society would dwindle.

He said that the issues of health and social security in the society have assumed international dimension, adding that it had necessitated the development of trans-national and global policies for the government to tackle.

He submitted that corruption, crime and terrorism, unemployment, poor education systems and unfavourable environment, among others, were major indices that are negatively affecting the Nigerian society.
