Nigeria’s national security architecture is now firmly in the hands of five powerful figures whose roles cut across defence, intelligence, and law enforcement.
From the National Security Adviser (NSA) Nuhu Ribadu to Gen. Christopher Musa (Rtd), Minister of Defence, as well as the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, these key individuals have the onerous task of resolving the country’s knotty security challenges.
In the intelligence community, Oluwatosin Ajayi, holds sway as the Director General of the Department of State Services (DSS), complemented externally by the just-appointed, Dauda Mohammed, Director General of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA).
