The Publisher of First Daily, Dr. Daniel Iworiso-Markson, on Tuesday commenced the newspaper’s 6th Annual National Dialogue on Security with a minute’s silence in honour of Nigerians who have lost their lives to insecurity across the country.
The solemn tribute preceded his welcome address at the event, themed “Declaration of State of Emergency on Security: Matching Words with Action,” held at the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre, Abuja.
Iworiso-Markson said the gesture was a mark of respect for victims of terrorism, banditry, kidnapping and other violent crimes, while reaffirming the need for practical actions to end the country’s security challenges.
