In a bid to address the challenges faced by rural communities and promote effective governance, Hon. Joshua Chinedu Obika, representing the AMAC/Bwari Federal Constituency in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has proposed critical reforms. His suggestions focus on local government autonomy, regional government, and the establishment of state police.
According to Hon. Obika, empowering local governments to operate independently will unlock the potential of democracy and enable local leaders to address community-specific challenges effectively. He also advocates for a regional government, which will encourage healthy competition among regions and decentralize power, leading to development and enhanced local participation.
Furthermore, Hon. Obika believes that state police are the solution to Nigeria’s security woes. With local government autonomy and regional government in place, state police can effectively combat insecurity by identifying and addressing security threats within their communities promptly.
These proposals form a holistic approach to governance, prioritizing the well-being of citizens. By empowering local governments, fostering healthy competition, and ensuring safety at the grassroots level, Nigeria can be transformed into a more prosperous and secure nation.
As the country moves forward, it is essential to heed Hon. Obika’s call for constitutional amendments and prioritize the well-being of citizens. By implementing these reforms, Nigeria can create a more responsive and secure governance system that benefits all.
