The Lagos State Commander of Man O’ War Nigeria, Ayodele Ajayi, has attributed Nigeria’s lingering insecurity to poor information sharing among citizens, stressing that security is a collective responsibility that requires active public participation and timely intelligence.
Ajayi stated this on Saturday during the inaugural lecture organised by the Lagos State Command of Man O’ War Nigeria, themed “From Vigilance to Intelligence: The Role of Citizens in Modern Security Architecture.”
The event, held at the Women Development Centre, Agege, Lagos State, was attended by representatives of key stakeholders in Nigeria’s security architecture, including the military, the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, the Nigeria Customs Service, and other security agencies.
Speaking at the event, Ajayi said Man O’ War was established to build leadership capacity and civic responsibility, adding that the organisation considered security a shared duty.
“Security is everybody’s business. One of the ways to be a good and responsible citizen is to organise programmes like this where discussions on security can take place and information can be shared,” he said.
