President Bola Tinubu is expected to officially launch Nigeria’s revised National Counter-Terrorism Strategy in October, following the completion of an extensive review process designed to align the nation’s security framework with emerging threats.
The National Coordinator of the National Counter Terrorism Centre, Maj. Gen. Adamu Laka disclosed this on Tuesday at the third quarter stakeholders’ meeting of NACTEST in Abuja, where he affirmed that the document has been finalised and forwarded to the National Security Adviser, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, for approval.
“I am pleased to report that the review process has now reached a decisive milestone. The revised draft National Counter Terrorism Strategy, which incorporates all feedback received during the validation exercise, has been finalised and forwarded to the National Security Adviser for approval.
According to him, the revised strategy was enriched through consultations, workshops, validation sessions, and technical reviews that brought together government institutions, security agencies, civil society organisations, academia, the private sector, and international partners.
