In five months 3,837 prisoners have been illegally freed from Nigeria correctional centres. In five months, 10 correctional centres have been attacked. In November, 2020 while counting the costs of the #EndSARS protests, Information Minister Lai Mohammed had said eight prisons were attacked, “with 1,957 inmates set free and 31 staff injured.” But Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has assured that the federal government would strengthen security at correctional centres across the country. Osinbajo gave the assurance while addressing newsmen at the Owerri Custodial Centre, Imo state, after inspecting the facility to ascertain the extent of damage by hoodlums who attacked the centre on Monday, April 5, 2021.

The salary former governor Rauf Aregbesola donated to Osun State in his 8 years as governor was to support everything from health, disaster recovery efforts and environmental causes to higher education institutions amounted to about greater percent of gross domestic product – a share that has barely budged in the past in Nigeria.

There is tension in Dangbala as various groups compete for illegal mining of gold deposit. Unauthorised mining activities in Dangbala, Akoko Edo Local Government in Edo State continue to peak as non-state groups struggle over the unregulated gold mining sites. And this has continued to fuel the rising threat within and around the area.
Edo State government and federal government must move to disincentivise artisanal mining by the local population. Arguably, the human capital deficits in Dangbala and Uneme Eruru, Akoko- Edo and lack of effective government presence in mining areas are push-factors to the cut-throat engagement of the local population in a quest for sustenance and survival. Adequate government regulations will, to a large extent, address the losses to illegal mining. Part of the revenue accruing from regulated mining should be used to drive development in the area. If the federal government can maximise revenue from mining activities, it can fund developmental projects
