Directors of the Department of State Services (DSS) in the Northwest have called for stronger intelligence sharing and operational synergy to defeat terrorism, banditry and other security threats in the region.
The call was made on Wednesday at the Northwest Conference of State Directors of Security (SDS), organised by the Department of State Services (DSS) in Katsina, with the theme: “Unite Against Terror.”
The Katsina State Director of Security, Alhaji Alhassan Iliyasu, said the conference provided an opportunity for intelligence-led agencies to review emerging security challenges and develop coordinated strategies to contain them.
Iliyasu said the conference would enable participants to compare experiences, identify operational gaps and strengthen countermeasures against banditry and related criminal activities across the Northwest.
He said the deliberations would culminate in a communiqué that would serve as an actionable roadmap for security agencies in the region.
