The task of building a society desired by all Nigerians is exerting and requires the contribution of all Nigerians as the challenge for everyone is “to build, not to destroy, to add to, not to take away,” according to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo (SAN).

Prof. Osinbajo made the call at the opening session of an International Conference on: “Patriotism, Security, Governance and National Development.”

The event was organized by the Global Patriot Newspaper in collaboration with the Nigerian Consulate in New York and Nigeria in Diaspora Organisation, New Jersey Chapter.

Speaking on the need for citizens to unite in building a better society, the Vice President said “the task of nation-building is exerting and may even appear messy as the process continues, especially in a multi-ethnic and multi-religious nation like Nigeria.

“It challenges all values, patience and tolerance of citizens, it may even be costly.

“It is a challenge thrown to everyone, to build, not to destroy, to add to, not to take away.”

While addressing security concerns, the Vice President restated his advocacy for the decentralisation of the Police Force.

According to him: “We must accept that there is a need for greater decentralisation of the Police Force.

“I have been a frequent advocate of state policing and I believe this certainly must be the way we must go.

“The National Assembly is in a position to consider some of the proposals that have gone to them for the purposes of devolving more powers to the states for security purposes and for addressing the security challenges.”

Regarding steps taken to address the perennial crisis between farmers and herders, Prof. Osinbajo said the Federal and State Governments are committed to the implementation of the National Livestock Transformation Plan, as developed by consensus of governors under the auspices of the National Economic Council (NEC).

Explaining the initiative, the Vice President said: “Yhe NLTP is a comprehensive strategy for addressing farmer/herder conflict essentially by encouraging interested states to establish cattle ranches.

“The crucial point here is that no community or State is compelled in any shape or form to give land for ranching.

“Ranching is essentially a business.

“NLTP is not a land grab in any way.

“Every state is completely responsible for its land.

“The Federal Government cannot go to any state and take any land.

“Already 22 States have indicated interest and pilots, with the support of the Netherlands government, are ongoing in four states of Adamawa, Nasarawa, Plateau and Gombe.

“If we are able to execute the NLPT, we will be able to see an end to the farmer-herder conflict because the goal is to make livestock breeders more sedentary and derive more financial benefits.”

Other participants at the meeting included Nigeria’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Prof. Tijjani Bande; President of NIDO, Dr. Kazeem Bello; and Femi Falana (SAN).
