BADARU CALLS FOR HUMAN-CENTERED APPROACH TO ADDRESSING INSECURITY.

The Minister of Defence, Muhammed Badaru, has called for a human-centred approach to security, addressing the root causes of insecurity like unemployment and poverty. 

Badaru made the call at the 14th National Security Seminar in Abuja, themed "Combating Hunger and Poverty for Sustainable Peace and Development in Nigeria", stressing the need for collective action and a "whole-of-society" approach to tackle pressing issues. 

Also speaking, the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, emphasized that national security is a collective responsibility requiring a multidimensional and collaborative approach, noting that the federal government has prioritized agricultural reforms, social investment programs, and security sector interventions to break the cycle of poverty and insecurity.
