Interagency Collaboration and Cooperation between Security Agencies and Citizens in Bauchi, Gombe and Yobe States.
Support to the SSR
Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS) is cooperating with Nigeria’s House of Representatives’ Committee on Army to organize a two-day seminar for heads of security agencies at state and zonal commands with leaders of civil society groups in the North-East geopolitical zone, on promoting interagency collaboration among security agencies, and fostering harmonious cooperation between security agencies and civilian citizens.
The multifarious dimensions of insecurity with its attendant devastation of lives and property of citizens within and beyond the North-East geopolitical zone, have remained a threat to Nigeria’s growth and development. The various stakeholders (security agencies and civil society partners) have continued to intensify efforts to curtail the threats which include terrorism, insurgency, armed banditry, kidnapping, and violent extremism. Through this seminar, KAS is strengthening collaboration among the stakeholders in the security management chain to forge harmonious relationships to enhance information sharing, joint action planning, confidence and trust building to effectively combat insecurity in the zone and promote progressive growth. To ensure sustainability of the interventions, the KAS seminars have repeatedly built on previous engagements among the stakeholders to scale up the level of successes recorded and to further design new roadmaps and milestones to achieve maximal and lasting improvement in security. The seminar is part of Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung’s support to the Security Sector Reform in Nigeria. This program is funded by the Federal Foreign Office of Germany.
