A meeting of former security chiefs is billed for Abuja today in furtherance of the search for solution to the nation’s security challenge.
National Security Adviser (NSA) Gen. Owoye Azazi will meet with his predecessors at the behest of the Federal Government, it was gathered yesterday.
Expected at the meeting are Alhaji Ismaila Gwarzo, Alhaji M.D. Yusuf, Alhaji Abdullahi Muhammed and Gen. Aliyu Gusau, the immediate past NSA.
Watchers of the security situation in the country have blamed the failure of intelligence for the bombings rocking many parts of the North.
On Saturday, Gen. Gusau as guest speaker at the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua memorial lecture, called for the adoption of the right strategies to curtail the security challenges.
The former security chief who expressed optimism that terrorism can be defeated, also pointed out that the country needs a multi-dimensional strategy to address it.
Gusau advocated a sound security strategy and investment in the requisite security infrastructure, adding that such strategy will determine how the government employs the various elements of power to make the country secure.
Gen. Gusau will be expected to throw more light on his security strategy at today’s talks.
Senate President David Mark at the peace meeting organised by the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) in Kaduna last week, Â publicly declared that the inability of Northern leaders, politicians and former security chiefs to publicly condemn Boko Haram is puzzling.
