Monguno, Nigeria’s National Security Adviser (NSA), has revealed that the replacement of the country’s Service Chiefs was not one of the issues discussed at the security meeting of Thursday, January 30 which held at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
According to Monguno, the meeting was on a review of the country’s current security situation.
He further revealed that a consensus at the meeting was that there is a need for collaboration between all government agencies and the Nigerian populace in the plan to curb insecurity in the country.
Speaking with State House correspondents on Thursday, January 30, he said the resolution reached by the lawmakers of the National Assembly on the sack of the service chiefs who have overstayed their approved 35-years of service was not discussed.
Monguno said: “The issue of the National Assembly resolution did not come up at the meeting.”
“The meeting basically made an appraisal of the current security situation in the country and took a look at the possibilities, the opportunities available to government in addressing most of the recent challenges,” he added.
Further, he said: “There were discussions and at the end of the day, the most important thing that we came up with is the need for collaboration, both between governmental agencies and the larger Nigerian society because of the type of insurgencies we are faced with, the complexities, the multiplicity of all kinds of issues.”
