The right people must be given the task of implementing security plans and policies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While admitting that the preponderance of views supports the removal of subsidy by the new government, Maikyau noted the need to ameliorate the effect of the removal on the citizens.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cWhat remains, however, is the need to immediately deploy such measures that will address the ensuing difficulties associated with the withdrawal of the subsidy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith the level of infrastructural deficits in many respects and the reliance on petroleum products as the primary source of power for most businesses, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/03\/14\/fg-begins-training-of-467183-beneficiaries-of-exited-n-power-batches-on-entrepreneurship\/\">entrepreneurs<\/a>, and private users, there is an urgent need to put in place policies that will help cushion the effect of this otherwise laudable decision before its positive impact will begin to be felt or noticed within our socio-economic space.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On the issue of the administration of justice, the NBA President noted that \u201cevery aspect of our judicial infrastructure requires fundamental rethinking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur approaches to policing, adjudication, bail, sentencing, and imprisonment need changes in significant ways. Achieving the desired justice system will be a process, not an event.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNevertheless, change must be accelerated to keep up with the expectations of Nigerians, particularly those of the poorest and most vulnerable communities.
