The Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, has emphasized that maintaining national security is a collective effort, encouraging all Nigerians to actively participate by sharing vital information that could aid security agencies.
This call to action was made on Saturday in Abuja during the 48th Annual National Conference of the Muslim Elders Association of Nigeria.
The event, themed “Making Living Worthwhile For All: Islamic Solutions to Economic and Security Challenges,” focused on how Islamic principles can be applied to address the country’s ongoing economic and security issues.
The Muslim Elders Association of Nigeria, known for its dedication to promoting peace, brotherhood, leadership values, education, and humanitarian efforts, organized the conference.
Represented by Major General Shuab Bashir, General Musa stressed the necessity of cooperation between the public and security forces. He noted that security agencies cannot single-handedly address the nation’s security challenges and urged citizens to contribute by providing valuable information.
Mr. Uba Alkali, representing the Police Commissioner in the Federal Capital Territory, also reiterated that effective security requires the collective effort of all citizens.
Both officials highlighted the crucial role of community involvement and intelligence sharing in overcoming Nigeria’s security issues, calling for a unified approach where the public and security agencies work together to create a safer nation.
