Osinbajo also said improvement in economic security was vital to Nigeria’s economic growth, human security and realisation of national defence and security requirements.
“Economic development is a springboard for improved national security because it comes with growth which enables more resources for a growing population.
“National economic development means that a country can meet its national security needs without depending on outsiders for the provision of its defence and security needs.
“Depending on food and energy imports makes a nation vulnerable to external pressure,” he said.
