I utterly condemn the murder of Deborah Samuel in Sokoto, Nigeria. The perpetrators of this barbaric and heinous act must be brought to justice by the police & relevant authorities in line with the law.
Call for all encompassing solution is not enough. Nigeria's problem is across all facets but also interwoven. A holistic sector approach is not enough. It must be holistic and across all facets.
