Former Nigerian minister of finance and coordinator of the economy, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, while addressing about 10,000 members of the Nigerian Bar Association on the theme, “Nigeria Needs A Social Contract— for better security, economic, social and political governance”, lamented how insecurity had become a political tool and subject of propaganda against the common good and national interest.

Okonjo-Iweala, who is the Director-General of the World Trade Organization (WTO), cautioned that the practice had to stop.

Nigeria faces several security issues with grave impact on its economy. Bandit-led kidnappings and attacks on local communities, and the Boko Haram insurgency have been the tragic highlights of the damaging insecurity.
