Insecurity Will Persist If Information Is Mismanaged — CDS Oluyede
Chief of Defence Staff, General Olufemi Oluyede, has warned that Nigeria’s insecurity challenges will continue if information is poorly managed.
Speaking during his screening at the Senate on Wednesday, Oluyede noted that although progress had been made in improving national security, significant work still lies ahead.
He emphasised the need to strengthen local defence capacity and develop homegrown solutions to tackle the country’s security challenges effectively.
My tenure has been quite challenging, and while things have improved tremendously, we can do better.
“It requires a whole-of-society approach. It’s important for all hands to be on deck to make Nigeria safer,” he added.
Addressing lawmakers during the screening, Oluyede emphasised the immense demands of military leadership and the sacrifices required to maintain national security.
“It requires cognate experience, sleepless nights, and total dedication to the safety of our nation. We all know resources are limited, but Nigeria must build its own capacity to confront emerging security threats from terrorism to cybercrime.
“If we fail to manage information effectively, our challenges will persist,” he added.
