ILORIN \u2013 As the nation mourns the death\u00a0 of no fewer than 36 persons in a Christmas day bomb blasts\u00a0 in Plateau\u00a0 and Niger States respectively, a\u00a0 Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) and former\u00a0 Nigerian ambassador to\u00a0 Ivory Coast\u00a0\u00a0 Alhaji\u00a0 A. G. F.\u00a0 Abdulrazaq has tasked the Federal Government\u00a0 to do something urgent\u00a0 about the insurgence\u00a0 of the Boko Haram before it is too late.<\/p>\n

Abdulrazaq who noted that the activities of the sect have become a serious embarrassment to the nation lamented that while the activities\u00a0 of the Niger Delta militants\u00a0 are subsiding , those of Boko Haram\u00a0 are\u00a0 escalating.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0 former ambassador\u00a0 who\u00a0 made this submission\u00a0 in a paper he presented\u00a0 at the 46th conference of Ilorin Emirate Descendants Progressive Union, IEDPU, observed that \u201cno day passes without the newspapers reporting an incident or two of bombing in some parts of the country, especially the Northern part \u201c.<\/p>\n

Explaining that members of the Boko Haram sects might be Muslims or even fundamentalists, he however argued\u00a0 that it was clear that they were not pursuing an Islamic agenda.<\/p>\n

On the planned removal of the petroleum subsidy, Abdulrazaq\u00a0 said: \u201cOn the issue of national security, I\u00a0 want to appeal to the Federal Government\u00a0 to re-examine its plan\u00a0 to deregulate the down stream sector through subsidy removal.<\/p>\n

As at now, not many Nigerians are clear about the\u00a0 government\u2019s intention in this regard. Maybe, what is needed\u00a0 is\u00a0 more\u00a0 sensitization\u00a0 of the people\u00a0 if indeed, as we are told, the policy is meant to benefit the common man.<\/p>\n

At\u00a0 the home front, Abdulrazaq charged the leaders of IEDPU to\u00a0 organise a comprehensive national summit of stakeholders of Ilorin to work out\u00a0 a\u00a0 new road map for the ancient city.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
