Prominent author, lawyer, and South-South zonal organising secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Blessing Agbomhere has called on the country’s politicians to prioritise good governance and security, emphasising that these critical issues must take centre stage in the nation’s development agenda.
In a statement that he signed in Benin, the Edo State capital, yesterday, Agbomhere said, “As a concerned citizen and legal practitioner, I am committed to proffering solutions to the challenges hindering development in my state and Nigeria as a whole.”
Agbomhere’s comment comes ahead of the official launch of his two latest books dedicated to the cause of pushing the agenda of security of lives and property of Nigerians and the quest for good governance, two key ingredients which he said are capable of firing Nigeria to the apex among the comity of nations.
The books titled “Nigeria’s National Security Challenges: Exploring the Human Security Solution” and “For Our Common Good” highlighted vital areas requiring urgent attention, such as strengthening institutions and promoting transparency, enhancing security measures and intelligence gathering, addressing economic inequality and promoting inclusive growth.
Agbomhere said, “Our politicians must recognise that good governance and security are non-negotiable prerequisites for Nigeria’s progress. We urge them to put aside partisan interests and work towards a common goal: building a safer, more prosperous nation for all.”
Both books are scheduled for launch in Benin on November 11th, with notable Nigerians in the security and governance space expected to attend.
