Insecurity: Group berates South-West govs, asks them to empower Amotekun
Tunde Ajaja
A group in the South-West, Majeobaje Movement, has accused the governors of Ekiti, Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, Oyo and Osun states of not doing enough to protect lives and property in the region.
It lamented that killings, kidnappings, rape and sundry criminal activities had continued to ravage the region under the governors’ watch, with the attendant loss of lives of many illustrious citizens and the destruction of their livelihoods.
The group, which described itself as an alliance of professionals, entrepreneurs, policy specialists and academics concerned about and working for improved governance in Nigeria, said these in a ‘Save Our Souls’ letter to the Chairman of the South-West Governor’s Forum and Governor of Ondo State, Mr Rotimi Akeredolu (SAN), on which it also copied in the five other governors.

A new Chapter of the Association of Formidable Education Development (AFED), has been launched in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
The new body has a primary assignment of ensuring that out- of- school children in Oyo State have access to low cost basic education, while the association complements the efforts of the state government.
AFED is an association of low-fee paying private schools in Nigeria. Established in 1999 and incorporated as a professional and humanitarian organisation to promote quality and affordable education for children from low income families.
Speaking at the inauguration of the new chapter, the national president of AFED, Mr Orji Kalu, said the association has been received warmly in some states in Nigeria, including Lagos State, where they have taken out-of-school children from the streets.
