What governors in the 36 states 774 LGA could do differently now 5/4/2026
Security + development together, not separately, no lies, no slogans Nigerians demand real visible action

Create state stabilization councils, security chiefs, traditional rulers, youth/women reps, farmers’ unions—meeting weekly with action plan linking security operations to jobs, schools, and food support.

Targeted 240 million Nigerian youth employment in hot spots: public works roads, irrigation, markets, paid apprenticeships 500,000/ naira monthly, and agriculture schemes focused on36 states 774 LGAs with high recruitment risk, not just capital cities.

Fix basic services in recruitment belts priority electrification, boreholes, primary health centers, and functional schools in communities where recruiters operate.

Community‑based intelligence (CJTF‑style but regulated) formalizes and train local vigilante/CJTF groups under clear rules, pay good salary 300,000 naira monthly, and human‑rights oversight, so they provide HUMINT instead of becoming another armed problem.
