According to information shared by the Ministry of Defence, the high-level meeting brought together the IGP, former Inspectors-General of Police, and serving senior police officers to deliberate on measures aimed at strengthening inter-agency cooperation in addressing Nigeria’s evolving security challenges.
The discussions focused on enhancing intelligence sharing, improving operational coordination, and fostering stronger collaboration among security agencies to combat threats such as terrorism, banditry, kidnapping, organised crime, and other forms of criminality affecting different parts of the country.
The meeting underscored the Federal Government’s commitment to a unified security architecture, with participants stressing the need for sustained synergy among the military, police, and other security institutions to improve national security outcomes and safeguard lives and property.
