Former Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Sunday Dare, has said President Bola Tinubu’s economic reforms and social interventions constitute an important part of a sustainable national security strategy, arguing that insecurity cannot be tackled through military operations alone.
He observed that public discussions on national security often focused largely on military interventions, while overlooking the structural impact of economic policies and social programmes on the factors that sustain insecurity.
According to him, states with poor developmental indices often record high levels of fragility, reinforcing the need to complement military operations with investments in development and effective governance. Dare cited the security intervention in Birnin Gwari, Kaduna State, as an example of how improved security could support economic recovery and restore livelihoods. He said the intervention by Tinubu had enabled farmers to return to their farms, created employment opportunities for young people and improved productivity. He also credited Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, with providing an account of the development and its impact on communities in the area.
