Most public primary and secondary school students learn in environments that are not encouraging in Nigeria.  The facilities have been stretched to obsolete conditions as a result of improper planning by the government at all levels.  Considering the dilapidated toilet facilities in several of these schools and the absence of potable and drinkable water, the potential outbreak of an epidemic cannot be ruled out. Teachers are no longer dedicated to duty due to their nightmarish working conditions.  Cultism has taken root in most of these schools, while "armed robbers" in school uniforms dot the nooks and crannies of every part of the country.  Indeed, cultists, mostly young people, are now strategic stakeholders in elections in many states. Of worry is the lack of sincerity on the part of the government in the implementation of programs and policies.  On the part of private schools, moral decadence, which is a major feature in public schools, is the issue, while ...

However, the alteration of the truth brings about disillusionment among the people and the continuous worrisome bloodshed of human lives is reflecting negatively on governance. All governments from time immemorial have been characterized by the twin evils of corruption and embezzlement of public funds. In addition, laws are hurriedly enacted for the preservation of the rot in the system. In dictatorships, the ruling party takes the position of the state, and ensures that the profession of a particular set of political opinions becomes the first qualification for those in the Civil and Public Service, rather than competence and honesty. However, although governments are liable, there are weapons to fight it in a democracy which is suppressed in dictatorship's form is labeled Glieshaltung, unifying the state.

  The Federal government has been called upon  to urgently take a second look at the entire  process of recruitment and training of personnel of the various law enforcement and security agencies as a step towards ensuring  that the unbearable level of insecurity across Nigeria is nipped in the bud. This call was made by the National Coordinator for the Federal Workers Forum, Comrade Andrew Emelieze. ''The government should take urgent steps to carefully look into the processes of recruitment, training and postings of those in uniform as a step towards reversing the worrisome and disturbing spate of insecurity. The government should take a second look on the processes that ensured that these personnel showcase the different uniforms of law enforcement and security agencies in a negative light. These trained personnel of the various uniformed agencies in Nigeria have continued, without stop, to engage in forgery, perjury, extrajudicial killings and corruption in all f...
