The National Economic Council
(NEC) has set up a committee to decentralise the operations of the Nigeria
Police Force.
Babagana Monguno, national
security adviser (NSA), disclosed this at the end of the NEC meeting chaired by
Acting President Yemi Osinbajo at the presidential villa in Abuja on Thursday.
Monguno said Ibrahim idris,
inspector-general of police, will head the committee with representatives from
the six geopolitical zones.
He also pointed out that Nigeria
is currently facing abnormal security challenges.
Asked to respond to the lack of
coordination among security agencies, he said: “It is not easy to coordinate.
Yes, all security agencies are supposed to be centrally coordinated but
sometimes we have issues. But these issues are being addressed right now and
that is probably why we are beginning to see some improvements.
“The truth is that we are dealing
with a situation that is asymmetric, that is not normal, not conventional. In
dealing with these problems there will be issues, inter-service issues,
inter-agencies issues.
“My office has been trying to
address in the last couple of weeks, hopefully we should be able to see some
improvements.”
The NSA also said the federal
government was looking into other security challenges coming outside the shores
of the country.
According to him, such security
problems are being collated by security agencies adding that a team will
subsequently be set up under the supervision of his office to deal with.
