Following the murder report of Victor Onwubiko, a legal practitioner in Imo State and a 50-year-old farmer, in fresh attack in Plateau State by gunmen; the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) and the commercial vehicle owners in Onitsha, Anambra State have urged President Bola Tinubu to declare a state of emergency on security.
The NUT President, Titus Amba, who addressed journalists at the annual Solemn Assembly of the union in Abuja, on Monday said Nigeria in recent times has recorded unprecedented security challenges and government must take decisive action to address them.
The union noted that its members were evading classes in many communities in some states because the schools were unsafe, and teachers have become targets of armed non-state actors.
Amba urged the Federal Government to declares a state of emergency in the security system, and it should remain until the security situation in the country improves.
He also advised governments at all levels to do the needful since security is everybody’s business.
