The Prelate of the Methodist Church of Nigeria, Dr. Samuel Chukwuemeka Kalu Uche, has urged the Federal Government to declare a state of emergency on unemployment and urgently recruit 3,000 persons in each of the 774 councils of the country. He also recommended aggressive farming, recruitment of more people to man the country's porous borders, increasing the extant police from one to 8,000 ratio to one to 1, 000 and bringing the total number of Police personnel to two million as solution to address insecurity in the country. The National Orientation Agency (NOA), led by the Director, Dr. Ngozi Okechukwu, said the advocacy visit was in continuation of NOA's efforts to fight insecurity and engender peace.
