Share IT was a scary sight a couple of weeks ago. All the major newspapers in the country, at least the cover of the mainstream ones in Nigeria either above or below their main plates, all featured scary tales of Insecurity. The next day, one tabloid carried another disturbing dimension of the raging insecurity plaguing the entire country with headlines such as ”two killed in attack on Enugu police station, and “bandits kill one, abduct Kaduna private university students” as its rider. As always, after reading all these sad and disturbing stories emanating from our beloved nation, we just say, “I think it’s high time the government buckled down and found a solution”. Then we go to sleep and wake up the next day only to be hit like a ‘thunderbolt’ by another security challenge. When will this stop? Part of our institutional lapses is that we don’t look inward to find permanent and actionable solutions that will put an end to our challenges. We lack the discipline of getting things done! But a silver bullet surfaced recently at the public hearing of a Bill For An Act To Establish The National Institute For Border Studies, Imeko, Ogun State, on the 26th of April, 2021. The public hearing, a staple of the National Assembly, is an open gathering of officials and citizens in which citizens are permitted to offer comments, give their opinions, provide and receive information as well as expand and speak to their written submissions. The National Institute For Border Studies Bill is sponsored by Sen. Tolu Odebiyi, the Senator representing Ogun West Senatorial District of Ogun State.
