Third-quarter national security update: Building security through coordination, intelligence and public trust

Nigeria’s third-quarter national security results point to a security environment that is changing across several fronts.

The update emphasizes coordination, prevention, intelligence and public trust as increasingly important tools. It also calls for a whole-of-society approach to national security.

The threats listed include terrorism, banditry, kidnapping, illicit arms trafficking, drug trafficking, human trafficking, organised and financial crime, cyber-enabled threats and climate-related risks.
