(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – Prof. Abubakar Sulaiman, Director-General, National Institute for Legislative and Democratic Studies (NILDS), says overlapping functions remain a significant problem encountered by Nigerian security agencies.
Sulaiman said this during a National Security Legislative Reform Retreat for Leadership, Chairmen of Committees on Security and Sponsors of Security Bill of the House of Representatives on Friday in Lagos.
Sulaiman said that absence of robust intelligence gathering and analysis mechanism as well as overlapping functions remained a significant problem encountered by security agencies.
He noted that overlaps in function were often necessary and desirable but could lead to misunderstanding and outright conflict if not properly managed.
