In a bid to address the evolving security challenges in Nigeria, the Federal Government has inaugurated a 33-member committee to review the National Security Strategy of 2019. This was disclosed by the Minister of Defense, Major General Bashir Magashi (retd.), during the committee’s inauguration in Abuja. The minister stated that the committee, chaired by the National Security Adviser, Major General Babagana Monguno (retd.), will be tasked with the responsibility of reviewing the existing strategy and proposing a new one to address the emerging security threats. This move comes at a critical time when insecurity has been escalating across the country, with incidents such as banditry, kidnapping, and terrorism causing widespread concern. According to THISDAYLIVE, the committee comprises representatives from various security agencies, including the Department of State Services (DSS), Nigerian Army, Nigerian Navy, Nigerian Air Force, Nigeria Police Force, and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). The development of a new security strategy is expected to provide a comprehensive plan to tackle the nation’s security challenges and ensure the safety and security of its citizens.
