Constitutional lawyer Kayode Ajulo has tasked President Bola Tinubu to appoint a seasoned diplomatic chief to the position of National Security Adviser (NSA).

“The NSA should be a season, intelligent and diplomatic chief with ability to coordinate the nation’s security team as well as liaise with diplomatic community effectively,” he said.

In a letter to the president in Abuja on Sunday, tagged “My expectation from President Bola Tinubu Administration”, Mr Ajulo urged the president to prioritise security, economic development and Nigeria’s unity

He tasked Mr Tinubu to remain focus to tackle the hydra-headed problems bedeviling the country.

“All regions of the state should receive adequate security attention and the lives of every citizen should matter and count as against previous administration,” the lawyer said.

He commended the president for engaging with the service chiefs and heads of security agencies on June 1, to strengthen the nation’s security.

He said Nigerians were anxiously awaiting the positive effect of the meeting , adding that such meeting without full implementations would amount to nullity.

“It is also expected that the president review the national security architecture and relieve the Service Chiefs of their commission to pave way for new ones,” he said.

He also enjoined the president to work toward graduating Nigerian from a consumption nation to a producing nation.

This according to him, should come by way of improved legislation and establishment of other statutes, acts and laws that would enhance infrastructural developments.

H commended the president on the fuel subsidy removal, and advised him to explore the possibility of an alternative transportation systems with lesser cost for ease of movement of the people.

He said such should help in moving agricultural produce between states, adding that the railway option or waterway options should be considered.
