The National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki, (retd.)
has said that international terror organisation, Al
Qaeda, has made inroads into Nigeria’s security system.
Dasuki however said that the country was responding
effectively to the threat of terrorism through the making
of relevant laws and policies to destroy the terror
networks in the country.
The NSA’s comment was contained in a keynote address
read on his behalf by Ambassador Layiwola Laseinde,
who represented him at a one-week Strategic
Communications Plan workshop for counter-insurgency
organised by the National Defence College, Abuja on
Monday.
The event declared open by the Permanent Secretary,
Ministry of Defence, Mr. Aliyu Ismaila, who represented
the Supervising Minister of Defence, Labaran Maku, was
organised in collaboration with the United States
Department of State’s Centre for Strategic Counter-
Terrorism Communication, the British Ministry of
Defence, and Albany Communications.
Dasuki said that the country had come to the realisation
that military action alone would not suffice in the
campaign against terrorism. He stressed that an
enlightenment campaign was a necessity in the quest to
defeat fundamentalists’ ideologies and terrorists’
tendencies.
Dasuki said that the need to build a consensus against
violent acts of terror remained one of the reasons
strategic communications was included in the nation’s
counter-terrorism operations.
He said, “Global terror, championed by Al-Qaeda, has
encroached upon the frontiers of Nigeria’s security and
well-being. Nigeria is responding to this threat on all
fronts.
“Through new and relevant legislations and policies,
security agencies have continued to dismantle terrorists’
infrastructure in Nigeria.
“Nigeria realises that military action on its own will not
counter terror if not accompanied by a robust public
diplomacy aimed at defeating the ideology of hate and
building consensus against violent extremism.
“This is why strategic communication is an essential part
of our counter-terrorism operations…”
Dasuki said that strategic communication in the country
would enhance the exposure of the true intent and form
of government “that the Al Qaeda-modelled Boko
Haram seeks to impose.”
He said that the strategic communication strategy would
also strive to place emphasis on the fact that terrorism
was un-Islamic and that counter-terrorism was not
targeted at Islam.
Dasuki said that efforts would be made to improve
Muslim-Christian relations and promote the rate of
literacy in the North as the fundamentalists were
exploiting mass illiteracy in the area.
The NSA stressed that the Federal Government would
promote inter-party collaboration in counter-terrorism
so that all stakeholders would contribute to the efforts
designed to provide safety and security in the society.

You said it all....

A round of a clap for you!

You think they have our time? Naija na bad market for terrorism, what could they possibly hope to achieve? In fact, the Devil doesn't even have our time, we're doing pretty well on 'self destruct' without him. But I have to agree with the NSA that its easier to tell the polulation that the World's most powerful terrorists are in Nigeria than to tell us that they can't curb a few dumb muslim boys with AK47 and locally made bombs.

You think the NSA cares about Nigeria and Nigerians? Not at all! He is concerned with money allocated to his department, for looting.
