The actress pointed to Nigeria’s effective handling of the Ebola outbreak and the COVID-19 pandemic as proof of what can be achieved with urgency and coordination.
According to her, Nigeria has the intelligence and capability to end banditry and kidnapping, but the government must act decisively.
“Nigeria demonstrated remarkable capacity during the Ebola outbreak and the COVID-19 pandemic. These experiences showed that when there is urgency, coordination, and commitment, Nigeria can respond effectively to major national crises.
This is a call on the government to apply the same level of determination, coordination, and strategic action to the fight against kidnapping, bandits, and insecurity,” she added.
