| Argungu (m) with the visiting members of the Alumni Association of the National Institute for Security Studies |
Hashimu Argungu, Chairman of the Police Service Commission and retired Deputy Inspector General of Police, has emphasized the need for improved intelligence gathering within Nigeria's security framework.
In a press release, signed by Ikechukwu Ani, Head, Press and Public Relations unit of the PSC, Argungu urged various security organizations to respect their jurisdictions, advocating for intelligence sharing and collaboration over competition.
Argungu believes that such cooperation is essential for enhancing national security in Nigeria, highlighting the importance of a unified approach among security agencies.
Argungu spoke in Abuja when he received in audience a delegation from the Alumni Association of the National Institute for Security Studies led by its National President, Barr. Mike Ejiofor, fsi.
The PSC Chairman, according to the press release, told his visitors that the nation expects much from them since they hold critical position as it relates to the security of our nation. He reminded them of the importance of security, especially intelligence gathering in national development.
DIG Argungu noted that every security organisation is established by law and should strictly function within the boundaries of their jurisdiction to avoid friction. What the nation expects from them, he said " is intelligence sharing and cooperation" adding that any conflict relating to jurisdiction "will bring failure of intelligence "
He also made a case for the improvement of the quality of training in the institute and charged the members to pay close attention to our security agencies and "tell them what they are doing that is wrong."
Barr. Ejiofor, the President of the Alumni Association, said they were in the Commission to associate with the Chairman and to congratulate him on his deserved appointment.
Barr. Ejiofor said the Association was formed for the sole purpose of bringing together graduates of the National Institute to further foster synergy among them and also among security agencies and other strategic agencies of government towards ensuring national security and unity.
To achieve this, he said the association plans to deliberately harness the training, experience and professionalism of members who are drawn from various agencies towards offering services to government and her institutions.
The president of the association disclosed that they intend to hold their annual lecture in November, this year and " your presence and support will be highly appreciated.”
