NSCDC Insists Constant Review of Strategies Remains Panacea to Overcoming Nigeria’s Insecurity
By: Michael Mike
The need for a constant review of strategies by members of the nation’s security architecture as a panacea to confront all forms of insecurity bedevilling Nigeria has been stressed by the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).
The Corps states that the present reality calls for constant rethinking of security strategies such that everybody comes together, pulls resources and expertise together to fight our common enemy.
The position was expressed by the Corps at a seminar on Inter-Agency Collaboration for some select states like Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Edo, Akwa Ibom and Cross Rivers organised by NSCDC in collaboration with the Nigeria House of Representatives in partnership with Konrad Adenauer Stiftung (KAS).
A statement on Monday by the National Public Relations Officer of the NSCDC, Babawale Afolabi noted that the programme fits into such strategy as it is aimed at ensuring seamless collaboration/synergy among security stakeholders in Nigeria.
According to him, the Corps noted that there is no doubt that the security of lives and properties is very critical to achieving meaningful socio-economic development, especially in a country like Nigeria.
It maintained that no security agency in Nigeria can single-handedly ensure security of lives and properties as security challenges of our contemporary time are hydra-headed and this fact has been proven over and over even beyond Nigeria.
According to the agency, the other objective of the programme is to ensure all stakeholders across the board are carried along on this mission.
It hinted that similar seminars were organised in three other geopolitical zones: North-East, North-West and South-South before the one which drew participants from the states above.
The Corps expresses gratitude to Konrad Adenauer Stiftung (KAS) for their partnership and belief in Nigeria by ensuring the implementation of the programme and other activities for the benefit of Nigeria and Nigerians.
It also applauded the contribution of Ms Marija Peran, the Resident Representative in Nigeria for her important role in the continuous nurturing of the collaboration between the NSCDC and KAS.
NSCDC stressed that constant review of strategies is an important panacea to overcome insecurity, noting that the need for a constant review of strategies by members of the nation’s security architecture as a panacea to confront all forms of insecurity bedevilling Nigeria.
Participants who were mostly senior officers were encouraged to learn new things noting that security management is ever-dynamic, it has made learning a continuous process.
