Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A security and intelligence expert, Dr Kabiru Adamu, has said changing security chiefs alone will not solve the problem of insecurity in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Adamu, the Managing Director of Beacon Consulting Limited, disclosed this in an interview with on Monday while reacting to the sack of the Service Chiefs by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.<\/p>\n

Speaking against the backdrop, Adamu, while lauding the bold step taken by Tinubu\u2019s administration, said the next thing to do is the completion of the security reforms.<\/p>\n

He added that improvement in the public governance structure, adequate legislature and efficient utilization of budgetary allocation are mandatory things to put in place to solve the country\u2019s insecurity challenges.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe change of critical establishment in the security sector is a good development.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe immediate past leadership oversaw over a period where in my organization, we\u2019ve been to document over 78,000 deaths in the space of ten years, so there is nowhere you can judge that as successful. It is not an individual thing but systemic. So just changing individuals won\u2019t solve the problem; it is just the beginning.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe next thing that has to follow is the completion of the security sector reforms.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow that has been started, we introduced transparency and accountability elements within the security sector. In the military, Police and other security structures. The second is the improvement of security sector governance. The current security structure is so convoluted. Another is the role of the leadership of the parliament\u2014chairpersons of several committees on security. Most of these security departments have old and moribund mandates, these legislatures must be reviewed. The lost one is budgetary. Muhammadu Buhari\u2019s administration did very well in this area, but how has this money been spent? Why is it that our military for example still uses soft-skill vehicles, is communication still a challenge for them? There has to be a way of ensuring that the budget is used for the exact purpose it is designed for. Again, the appointment is just the beginning; these other things need to be done if we are going to see the result of a functional, effective and efficient security sector that meets the aspiration of Nigerians,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
