Collaborative effort required to curb Nigeria’s rising insecurity- experts

Security experts have called on individuals, corporate organizations, ministries and agencies to collaborate with security operatives in combating Nigeria’s rising insecurity, as it poses a threat to economic growth and development.

This was discussed at the sixth edition of the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) security meets business dialogue held on Tuesday

During the conference, security agencies, private sector operators, and members of the diplomatic community agreed that the rising insecurity in Nigeria raises concerns for businesses and investments, hence it requires collaborative efforts to be combated.

Toki Mabogunje, president of, LCCI said that the government’s commitment to combating insecurity is visible in expenditure allocation for the ministry of defence at N878 billion and the procurement of equipment and other resources worth about N983 billion, however, this is yet to yield satisfactory results.
