A security expert and reform advocate, Salisbury Attah, has explained why President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s 90-day security plan will tackle the menace of insecurity in Nigeria.
In a statement on Monday, Attah explained that Tinubu’s directive for the preparation of a National Threat Assessment is timely.
According to him, the 90-day timeline should be viewed as an opportunity to consolidate existing security frameworks into a practical operational plan rather than as an attempt to create another strategy document.
“The objective is not to discard what already exists, but to bring greater clarity to how existing strategies, institutions, capabilities and resources fit together. The National Threat Assessment will provide a current picture of the threats confronting the country, while the Strategic Defence Operations Plan will translate that assessment into clearly prioritised military and defence requirements. This is a necessary link between strategy, operations, capability and funding,” Attah said.
DAILY POST recalls that President Tinubu recently appointed Major General Adeyinka Famadewa, rtd, as his Special Adviser on Homeland Security, with the aim of tackling insecurity across the country.
