President Muhammadu Buhari is planning a complete re-engineering of the nation’s security architecture due to the worsening insecurity in some parts of the country.
This is even as he has again ordered the nation’s security chiefs to rejig their security strategy.
The National Security Adviser, NSA, Major General Babagana Monguno (Rtd), disclosed this on Tuesday while briefing State House Correspondents on the outcome of the meeting of the National Security Council presided over by the President in Abuja, the nation’s capital.
President Buhari, according to the NSA, reaffirmed his last marching orders to the nation’s security chiefs that their best effort is not good enough.
Monguno said since the issues involved are operational issues, the Minister of Defence, Bashir Magashi, “is working on something” likely to give a new direction to the security agencies.
The NSA also disclosed that the council noted that the proliferation of drugs is driving insecurity in the country.
He explained that President Buhari said Nigerians have lost confidence in the security sector and he is determined to restore that confidence.
On Governor Babagana Zulum’s attack and the crisis with the military, the NSA said the Governor will meet with Mr. President to discuss whatever led to the incident and the debacle.
He described the Zulum’s attack as unfortunate and added, “I believe we’ll get over this issue.”
