Most Security Conflicts Result of Dead LG System in Nigeria – Jonathan

Former President Goodluck Jonathan has attributed most security conflicts in Nigeria to effect of non-functioning Local Government system in the country.

Jonathan, who stated this while speaking on Thursday when he delivered a graduation lecture at the National Institute for Security Studies in Abuja,  called for renewed measures to address the “dead” local government system in the country

According to him: “Most of these security conflicts are happening because of the weakness of the lower tiers of government. The local government system that is supposed to interphase with communities directly and prevent this is dead in this country,”

“Since the local governments are mainly managed by the states now — because we are told that some states even take their money — I think the states must have strong departments that will coordinate the affairs of local governments.

“And these departments must have regular meetings with traditional rulers and community development committees.”
