NOW THE NEWS IN FULL.....
The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr Babachir Lawal, who gave the assurance at the closing of the Nigerian Economic Summit, said that there can be no development without peace in the country.
He said that 90% of the budget of north-eastern states was presently spent on security alone, which required that the area be given appropriate support from all quarters to restore peace in the region and the country as a whole.
Discussions to round up the 3-day economic summit were centred on security and peace in Nigeria and how to bridge the gaps in current strategies, mitigation measures and improving early warning signals, all towards facilitating a sustainable business environment.
Key among the resolutions was that development and peace are interlinked and that Nigeria must begin to make provisions for life beyond the restoration of peace to ensure it is sustained.
They emphasised the need to invest in the youth who are believed to be the greatest challenge in the current security crisis.
The nature of governance over the years, as well as the state of the country's economy are said to have a big influence on the sort of insecurity plaguing the country.
Several issues raised at the Economic Summit, spanning all sectors of the economy, are all geared towards giving Nigeria a competitive advantage through sustained and inclusive growth.
For this to happen, tough choices must be made to change the norm in many areas and key among the changes are obsolete legislation, investment in education, effectiveness of public institutions, infrastructure deficit and job creation.

YOU CAN SKIP THIS PART(short joke)...
A young couple moved into a new neighbourhood. The next morning while eating breakfast, the young woman saw her neighbour through the window hanging the wash outside.
"That laundry is not clean," she said. "She doesn't know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better laundry soap".
Her husband looked on, but remained silent. Every time the neighbour would hang laundry to dry, the young woman would make the same
comments.
About one month later, the woman was surprised to see nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband: "Look, she has learnt how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this!"
The husband replied: "I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows."
And so it is with life.
What we see when watching others depends on the purity of the window through which we look.
Easy to discuss other people, their lives and things that don't really concern us.
Yet we tend to forget- our window isn't that clean after all.
Clean up your window with the WORD! (THE TRUTH.)
LORD, please give us the strength, humility and courage that we may work on our faults first rather than seeing the faults in Others and castigating them.
Have a beautiful Week !
