PRESS RELEASE

CALL FOR ENHANCED SOUTH-WEST SECURITY COOPERATION

The Chairman of the Society of Nigerian Broadcasters (SNB) in Oyo State, Comrade Seun Awodele, has called on Governors in the South-West region to adopt a more coordinated and united approach in addressing the security challenges confronting the zone.

He said it is both timely and strategic for the Governors of the South-West to converge in Oyo State—first on a solidarity visit following the recent abduction of teachers and school pupils in the state, and subsequently for a regional security summit to be hosted by Governor Seyi Makinde.

According to him, the proposed summit should serve as a platform to reassess the region’s security architecture with a view to strengthening collaboration, deepening intelligence sharing, and developing practical, sustainable solutions to insecurity across the South-West.

The Chairman further emphasized that discussions should go beyond the broader kinetic security framework in the South-West geopolitical zone to also include non-kinetic security strategies aimed at addressing the spread of banditry and terrorism from the northern parts of Nigeria into the region.

He noted that such a collective and coordinated effort would enhance regional cooperation, improve rapid response mechanisms, and significantly contribute to peace, stability, and public safety across the South-West.

Chairman
Society of Nigerian Broadcasters (SNB)
Oyo State.
