The Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, has called for more synergy between the Federal and state governments to tackle the security challenges plaguing the country.
He said there is a need for a robust collaborative approach and multi-level policing system that would involve the three levels of governments to surmount the current multi-dimensional security challenges.
Oloyede spoke at Ikole-Ekiti, headquarters of Ikole Local Government Area of Ekiti State, during the maiden Ramadan lecture organised by the lawmaker representing Oye/Ikole Federal Constituency, Akin Rotimi, in celebration of the National Vice President of Ansar-Ud-Deen Society of Nigeria, Aare Sulaiman Ogunlayi.
In his lecture, titled: Duties of Muslim Citizens in National Development, the JAMB registrar, who was represented by the Provost of the Federal College of Education at Iwo in Osun State, Prof. Abdulrafiu Adebayo, said the issue of security must be seen as a collective responsibility.
He noted that the fight against insecurity should not be left to the Federal Government alone.
He said it required the support of the sub-nationals to provide synergy upon which the nation’s security architecture could be improved.
Oloyede noted that President Bola Tinubu is constrained to handle every security situation, considering the country’s size, hence the need for all the governors to devise local means to tackle insecurity in their domains.
