Address insecurity to guarantee food security, Tinubu is urged by SAN.
In order to eradicate food insecurity in the nation, President Bola Tinubu has been advised by Senior Advocate of Nigeria Albert Akpomudje to address the twin issues of electricity supply and insecurity.
In a Wednesday interview in Ughelli, Delta State, with media, Akpomudje made the call.

He denounced the unlawful annexation of agricultural land across the majority of the nation, claiming that this had made farming challenging and consequently reduced food production in the country.
Nonetheless, he expressed optimism that Nigeria will realize its full potential with a better electrical supply.
“I want to tell President Tinubu that tackling insecurity and power head-on is one shortcut to tackle food insecurity and the rising cost of living in the country,” Akpomudje stated.

“This has a multiplier effect that will resolve the difficulties that seem to be plaguing us right now.
“A large portion of our farmlands have been taken over by herdsmen, making it harder for people to go farming.
“Our production capacity has dropped to an unacceptable level, companies have left the country, and those working in the manufacturing and production sectors are unable to produce.”

“Our problems will naturally go away if the President can address the illegal occupation of our lands by killer herdsmen and enhance our power generation. People will be able to return to farms without fear, and businesses will be able to increase manufacturing and production.” It is well known that insecurity persists to this day.
“In Delta here, the Uwheru axis is still being occupied by the killer herdsmen and our people cannot go to farm”.
