Government at all levels hasn’t earned the people’s trust and confidence over the decades. THE #EndSARS protests and their unsavoury aftermath are pointers to the trust deficit in government.

It is also the trust deficit in government that has led to the massive looting of COVID-19 palliatives across the country. Above all, government must start to consciously build people’s trust and confidence in them.
