In comparison to previous experiences, Nigeria's security situation has improved. It was difficult back then, and citizens struggled to sleep with two eyes closed. People are currently sleeping well and also, some companies and banks that ceased operations due to the level of insecurity experienced in the past are now resuming operations.
For example, during the cult clash era in Ogbaland, Rivers State, many banks ceased operations, but they are now operational. Likewise, certain industries. Today, movement is free and safe, and business is booming, but we still need government presence in employment areas, as identified by the OP, because human capital development is critical to any country's growth.
