By Aare Afe Babalola, CON, OFR, SAN
Last week, I commenced a discussion on what must be done to prevent the country from impending doom, particularly in the light of the current state of insecurity ravaging the nation.
I ended the edition by noting that there has been a call by many stakeholders for restructuring and the enactment of a new constitution, particularly one which bears semblance to the 1963 Constitution, with modifications to conform to current realities.
