“Nothing can break Nigeria” – Governor Aliyu


Against all odds, chairman of the Northern Governor’s Forum, NGF, and Governor of Niger State, Dr. Babangida Aliyu believes that Nigeria will remain indivisible and united despite the constant security challenges in the country. Stressing on the continuous unity of the country, Aliyu had asserted that nothing can break Nigeria.

The governor called on the Federal Government to be more tactful while addressing security problems of the country, saying that it will be better to address security challenges early enough before they get out of hands.
Aliyu said this yesterday in Lagos at a forum organized by the Obafemi Awolowo Institute of Government and Public Policy in commemoration of Nigeria’s 52 independence.
Speaking on the topic: The Search For National Security In Nigeria; Challenges and Prospects, Aliyu urged the government to be more systematic and professional in addressing security related matters.
Governor Aliyu said: “We should be more sophisticated in managing our security challenges and avoid handling the issues in reactionary ways of adopting impulsive measures and strategies that fail to address the fundamental problems on a sustainable basis. We have national security challenges, it does not mean that Nigeria is on the brink of collapse, as being insinuated in some quarters.”
Boko Haram has waged a bloody fight against Nigeria’s central government and has been blamed for killing more than 680 people this year alone.
