Statistics reports that over 130 million Nigerians live in poverty, inflation remains in double digits, and unemployment continues to rise as companies downsize due to the removal of fuel subsidy.
Tragically, Nigeria has experienced a surge in violence, with a staggering number of deaths and kidnappings since President Bola Tinubu assumed office. According to a report by Global Rights titled ‘Mass Atrocities in Nigeria from 2019 to July 2023,’ a total of 555 Nigerians have been killed, and 267 have been kidnapped between May 29 and July 3. These distressing incidents include attacks by bandits, Boko Haram insurgents, gunmen, and other criminal elements.
Considering the urgent nature of the security crisis, it is imperative for the newly appointed chief of defence staff, Lieutenant General Chris Musa, to prioritise the safety and well-being of Nigerians. Hailing from Southern Kaduna, a region that has endured its fair share of turmoil, General Musa is intimately familiar with the suffering of his people.
