President Tinubu, Ribadu, Service Chiefs To Attend Security Conference In Abuja

President Bola Tinubu, the Service Chiefs, and the National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu, will be attending a Conference on improving security in Africa.

Naija News reports that the Chairman of the American Society for Industrial Security (ASIS), Edward Orim, said this on Thursday at a press conference in Abuja.

Orim stated that the event will take place at the ASIS International Sub-Saharan African conference in Abuja from July 26 to 28.

He said the conference would help identify vulnerabilities and support the government to curtail insecurity with new ideas that would help improve security in Africa.

Orim stated that the conference themed: “Managing security risks in Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous, Digital (VUCAD) Africa,” is expected to draw participants from Ghana, South Africa, Europe and other parts of the world.

He said: “We normally have conferences between Africa, Europe, Asia and America, but for now we are having the African conference, which Abuja is hosting. In Nigeria, the current administration is taking the fight against bandits and criminal elements very seriously.

“Recently, the new chief of Army Staff said there is no going to be any negotiation with these guys again, as they should surrender their arms.

“So, I think this is what this conference will help to highlight and encourage. This is why we are having a military and law enforcement dinner to appreciate that they are doing the right thing, which they should continue.”
