Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari is set to overhaul the nation’s entire Security Apparatus due to rising Insecurity in the nation.
This was announced by the country’s national security adviser, NSA, Babagana Monguno on Tuesday while addressing state house correspondents. The president, according to Monguno, told service chiefs who attended the briefing that their effort is not good enough.
Monguno said since the issues are operational, Bashir Magashi, minister of defence, “is working on something” and will likely give a new direction to the security agencies in the days to come.
He said Buhari told the service chiefs that Nigerians have lost confidence in the security sector but he is determined to restore that confidence.
Credibility is in short supply in President’s promise to rejig security capacity and capability. Personnel, leadership, physical structure, intelligence, synergy across the component forces,collaboration and cooperation with the people are essentials. People have lost confidence in a leadership that waste personnel, that lacks scientific mind, that lies unashamedly, gives false sense of security. Only the President feels safe.
