President Bola Tinubu’s Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila has said the war against terror can be accomplished through effective collaboration with other countries.
Alluding to the international dimension of the security challenge, he said the West African sub-region is critical to winning the war.
Gbajabiamila said: “There is an often overlooked international element to the myriad national security challenges in our country.
“Addressing this requires increased collaboration with our neighbours in West Africa and regional and international partners to track financial flows, share intelligence and ensure that perpetrators and instigators of violence, wherever they may operate from, are made to answer for their crimes in due course.
“This collaboration is critical to this administration’s national security strategy to ensure a safer and more prosperous environment for all.”
The chief of staff delivered the convocation lecture of Yaba College of Technology, Lagos, titled: ”Empowering Nigerian Youths in the present-day economy.”
Gbajabiamila said addressing the prevailing challenges of national security is a priority in a bid to make Nigeria an attractive location for investments needed to empower the youth and ensure national prosperity.
He lamented that Insecurity had manifested through a concerning rate of banditry while insurgency has made entire country uninhabitable to profitable commercial enterprise.
