2019 Polls: NSA Assures On Neutrality Of Security Agencies
The National Security Adviser (NSA), retired Maj.-Gen. Babagana Monguno, has assured that security agencies that will be deployed for election duties in 2019 will be guided by neutrality, operational efficiency, patriotism and professionalism.
Monguno gave the assurance on Thursday in Abuja at the start of a two-day “Election Security Management” workshop organised by the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA).
He, however, said that in the face of threats to democratic values and sacred electoral process, security agencies would be charged to be firm and decisive.
According to him, the firmness will be in identifying, isolating and neutralising threats in the interest of national security.
The NSA added that there had been concerns within and outside the country on challenges to the capacity of law enforcement agencies deployed on election duty.
Warning: Election rigging can ignite war He said that such concerns bordered on synergy between the different law enforcement agencies.
He said “this development results majorly from the wide knowledge gap of security agencies on the professional requisites for election security management in a democratic setting, a gap this training intends to fill.
“It is believed that the training will act as veritable interactive forum for perfecting the operational coordination process between the Nigeria Police Force and other complementary security agencies that will be deployed for electoral functions across the country.”
The security boss added that the workshop was organised to ensure that relevant security agencies were coordinated at the most strategic national level.
