“While our States are under siege from armed groups, our elites often find greater pride in staging flamboyant social ceremonies than in convening serious, solution -driven to address the insecurity destroying our communities.
We live in a society that too often glorifies wealth, power, and spectacle, while poverty, illiteracy, unemployment and mass displacement tighten their grip on our people. We must shift from celebrating vanity to rewarding integrity, selfless leadership and genuine action for peace.
Unless such a change in values takes place , the North risks remaining trapped in a vicious cycle of misplaced priorities and perpetual underdevelopment “. Dr. Idris Abdullahi
