Insecurity: Nigeria has become laughing stock across the world – T Y Danjuma
Former Chief of Defense Staff, retired General Theophilus Y. Danjuma has expressed concern that Nigeria’s security issues have tarnished its global reputation.
Speaking at the annual Nwonyo Fishing and Cultural Festival in Ibi Local Government Area of Taraba State, he emphasized the urgency for Nigerian authorities to address the security challenges plaguing the nation.
Danjuma stressed that without guaranteed security, both investors and tourists, especially foreigners, would hesitate to visit or invest in the country.
“No person or group of persons will want to come to our state or country if we continue to kill and butcher ourselves,” he said.
“If we continue to make our roads unsafe for people to move around, our dreams of making Nwonyo fishing and cultural festival an international festival, can not be achieved.
“It is sad that Nigeria as a nation has become a laughing stock following the security challenges.
“All hands must be on deck in order to insert the right pegs in the right holes.
“As we are today, we are a disgrace to the whole world. We must put our house in order because right now we have become a laughing stock to the whole world. So we must make our roads safe.”
