The former President, who doubles as chairman of the foundation, said the challenges posed by banditry, terrorism, and other crimes were a threat to Nigeria’s democracy and nationhood.

“Our pursuit of peace cannot be achieved in isolation of the pursuit of justice and other human security needs.

“This is so because peace is the bridge that links poverty to prosperity, reconciles hope with despair, and imposes order on chaos.

“There is no doubt that our nation is plagued by many crises and these challenges have continued to threaten our fate and shared destinies.

“We have lost our loved ones, lost millions of properties and investments because of insecurity.

“The challenges posed by banditry, terrorism, and other associated crimes threaten our human essence and the essential values of our democracy and nationhood.

“This is why the GJF considered it apt to undertake this research to engage the relevant stakeholders towards an improved security,” he said.

Dr. Jonathan said the crisis currently facing the country required sacrifice and urgency of actions from all stakeholders who must “show commitment to peace.”
