Fayemi insisted there are reasons to believe that there is a correlation between activities of bandits in the Northwest, kidnapping in the Southwest, and insurgency in the Northeast.
He said the nation is in urgent need of a political will to bridge the gap between the government and the youths as well as synergy among security operatives to tackle the Boko Haram crisis.
