The APC senator was speaking on “The Challenges of Governance and Security in Nigeria” at the 2021 lecture of the University of Ibadan Alumni Association in Ibadan.
“There are cases of avoidable clashes of herders and farmers over land as well as resources. There are agitations for political self-determination within the country. All these are facts but dangerously familiar,” Mr Folarin said.
According to him, where there are security challenges to the progress of the electorates, public infrastructure and resources, “governance will be held hostage.”
He said good governance was about the fulfilment of greater good for all, with the promise of opportunities for Nigerians, and that “the political and intellectual classes have the duty to create as well as to secure the best of opportunities for youths.”
