Your Excellencies President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo, 240 million Nigerians extend our respect to both of you as leaders entrusted with the safety and future of our nation. Recent reports confirming Governor Ododo’s commendation of President Tinubu’s security investments in Kogi State, including the establishment of the 21 Battalion Army Barracks in Anyigba/Agbeji-Anyigba, show that progress is possible when leadership prioritizes security.
However, we write with a heavy heart on behalf of millions of Nigerians who continue to live in fear. Our children have been kidnapped, harmed, and displaced since 1999. Families across all 36 states and 774 LGAs are still waiting for answers. We demand with urgency and sincerity when will our children be brought home? When will the cycle of kidnapping and killings finally end in Nigeria photo ops and speeches will not bring back Nigerian kidnapped children sirs
This message is not written out of disrespect, but out of deep pain and frustration. The world— including the USA, EU, and over 195 countries—has witnessed Nigeria’s long struggle with insecurity. Many believe that successive governments, past and present, have not done enough to protect Nigerian children. The suffering has gone on for far too long.
We demand you to take decisive action that addresses the root causes of boko haram and other criminal activities. Nigerians have repeatedly called for collaboration between the Federal Government, state governors, and all 774 LGAs. Instead, national attention and resources are often diverted into prolonged court battles that do nothing to stop the violence.
We respectfully demand the following urgent actions:
Deployment of drones and CCTV surveillance across all 36 states and 774 LGAs
Creation of sustainable jobs for 240 million of Nigerians in the 36 states 774 LGA
Large-scale investment in agriculture and rural development
Strengthening of local security networks and intelligence systems
A coordinated national strategy to eliminate the root causes of extremism
If 240 million Nigerians have access to jobs and economic stability, crime and terrorism will drastically decline. Security is not only about weapons—it is about opportunity, dignity, and jobs for 240 million Nigerian youths and graduates
We demand to you to act with urgency. The lives of our children and the future of our nation depend on it.
