Interagency Rivalry Fuelling Nigeria’s Insecurity, NSCDC Commandant Declares
Michael Olugbode in Abuja
Interagency rivalry and the inability of security institutions to work seamlessly together are undermining Nigeria’s response to insecurity, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Commandant of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Dr. Olusola Odumosu, has warned.
Odumosu raised the alarm yesterday in Abuja at the launch of his book, ‘Nigeria’s Security Dilemma: Rivalries and Implications, Vol. 1’, where security experts and government officials unanimously called for greater synergy among security agencies to tackle the country’s mounting security challenges.
The NSCDC commandant argued that no single security organisation possesses the capacity or expertise to effectively address the multifaceted threats confronting Nigeria, insisting that a fragmented approach to national security has only emboldened criminal elements.
