Obaseki Calls for Decentralization of National Security System to Combat Insecurity

Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State has called for the decentralization of the nation’s security system to tackle the increasing insecurity in the country.

Obaseki made the call on Wednesday at the Edo State Security Summit held in Benin City, the state capital.

“The security of our country is our collective responsibility and not just the government’s. We must all come together to ensure that our country is safe and secure,” he said.

The Governor also called on the Federal Government to invest more in the security sector, noting that the security of the country should be the priority of the government.
