Mrs Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the Director-general of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), has stated that the insecurity in Nigeria has been weaponised for political reasons which has led to the incessant abductions in the country.
The WTO director-general said there would not be any development in the country without having adequate security.
“We cannot have socio-economic development without security,” she said at the 2024 Annual General Conference of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) in Lagos state on Sunday, August 25.
“We certainly cannot have security without development. We all know that security has been weaponised in our country for political purposes by political actors, leading partly to the situation we have now.
“We have politicians who believe that the best way to make their opponents look bad is to instigate insecurity making it look like they can’t govern, regardless of whether this leads to loss of lives and property of innocent Nigerians.
“This has to stop.”Nigerians have seen for years how organised crude oil theft on a massive scale seriously undermines the economic and financial health of the country,”All Nigerians must agree that stealing of our national assets of any type is intolerable and must be stopped.”
Okonjo added that there is so “much technology” to track crude oil theft and there should not be any excuses not to do so.
