USA Africa Dialogue Series - Friday Essay: On Insecurity in Nigeria - By Bolaji Aluko



Friday Essay: On Insecurity In Nigeria

My People: 

The state of insecurity in the country is completely unacceptable, and requires a complete overhaul of our security architecture and sociological superstructure.

To this end, we must properly deploy:

1.  Intelligence - HumInt, CInt and TechInt (MasInt, SigInt and ImInt)
Unfortunately, it appears that some of our intelligence is compromised by enemy sympathizers, who must be rooted out as a first order of business, without which recurrent defeat on the battle field is assured.


2.  Personnel - Special and Regular
Adequate number for each type of Intelligence, as well as raw boots on the ground, with tour rotations in and out.


3.  Equipment - Specialized (Sateliite, Drone, etc) and Regular -  with agile
bush- and guerrilla-warfare- specific-equipment in place.


4.  Training - adequate and regular for the intelligence and equipment necessary particularly for bush and guerrilla warfare.


5 A Network of Security Networks
Each town, local government and state must have its own security network - each with different levels of arms and ammunition, equipment, personnel and arresting powers, with coordination from one administrative level to the other.


6.  Functional Education and Employment Drive for the Disaffected Citizenry  -  to starve the enemy fighters of replenishment, and for national development. The political, religious, revolutionary, sociological and criminal basis for disaffection must be disaggregated, and dealt with accordingly


Other ideas are welcome.
