Advertisement It is indubitable that Nigeria’s National Security Adviser (NSA), Major General Mohammed Babagana Monguno (retd) has not been on top of his national security mandate or brief since stepping in the saddle. Even now, these are not the best of times for him. He, together with his professional competence keep unravelling in some monumental fashion that calls to question his appointment into the sensitive position in the first instance. A few events, in recent times, have validated that perception. He has been unable to galvanise the nation’s security architecture for utilitarian benefits of Nigerians and the polity. Had he been able to do so, the current saga around the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr Isa Pantami, would not have happened. It would not have happened because Pantami would not have been appointed minister in the first instance on the strength of security report by the relevant agencies on his watch as the NSA. He should have ensured that the security report received his imprimatur. Even just now, there were reports that the security agency did not submit its report on Pantami to the National Assembly during screening. How then did the National Assembly allow him to pass?
