Absence of coordinated intelligence gathering fueling insecurity in Nigeria — Okowa

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) vice-presidential candidate, Ifeanyi Okowa, said on Sunday lack of adequate intelligence was fueling insecurity in the country.

Okowa stated this at the presidential town hall meeting in Abuja.

The Delta State governor identified job creation as the primary solution to the security challenges.

He said: “We have to agree that lack of proper intelligence gathering has been fueling insecurity in the country. I don’t want to talk about whether President Muhammadu Buhari has done the right thing or not.

“It is impossible we work towards putting necessary things in place. There is need to work on our education and reduce the rate of unemployment. This will reduce the insecurity in the country.”
