Insecurity: Stakeholders to meet in Abuja on way forward

Key stakeholders in the security sector are set to converge in Abuja on June 13 to deliberate on collaborative and innovative approaches to Nigeria’s evolving security challenges.

The event, organised by the National Private Security Conference (NPSC), is expected to bring together government institutions, security agencies, private sector operators, investors, researchers and development partners.

Speaking at a press briefing yesterday, the convener, Dr Charles Awule, said the gathering would provide a platform for broad engagement on critical national security concerns.

He described the conference as an independent and non-partisan initiative aimed at promoting dialogue, policy engagement, innovation and strategic partnerships within Nigeria’s security ecosystem.

“Nigeria stands at a defining moment in its security journey. These challenges demand not only courage and commitment, but also innovation, collaboration, and a willingness to rethink how we collectively safeguard our nation,” he said.

Awule added that the theme of the conference, “Building a Modern Security Ecosystem: Integrating Private Sector Capacity into Nigeria’s National Security Architecture,” reflects the increasing need for multi-sector involvement in security management.

“Security can no longer be viewed as the responsibility of the government alone. Around the world, successful security frameworks increasingly rely on partnerships between government institutions, security agencies, private sector operators, technology innovators, researchers, investors, and local communities,” he stated.

He stressed that the conference is not intended to replace existing security institutions or regulatory bodies, but to complement their efforts through stronger collaboration.
