Insecurity: Nigerian President, Governors, Service Chiefs In Crucial Meeting

Due to escalating security breaches in Nigeria, which has claimed hundreds of lives in the past one month, the country’s president, Muhammadu Buhari, is by now in a crucial meeting with the service chiefs, the state governors as well as the vice president, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
Also in the meeting are the president’s chief of staff, Professor Ibrahim Gambari, Secretary to the Federal Government, Boss Mustapha, National Security Adviser, retired Major General Babagana Monguno.

The Service Chiefs in attendance include the Chief of Defence Staff, General Gabriel Olonisakin, the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai, the Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Ibok Ekwe Ibas, and the Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar. 
Also present are the Inspector General of Police, IGP Mohammed Adamu, the Director-General of National, Department of State Services, DSS, Yusuf Bichi, the Director-General, National Intelligence Agency, NIA, Ahmed Rufa’i, and the Directorate of Military Intelligence. 
Some of the Ministers are the Attorney-General of the Federation, AGF, and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, the Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, the Minister of Defence, Bashir Magashi, the Minister of Police Affairs, Mohammad Dingyadi, and the Minister of State, Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Zubairu Dada. 
Some security experts are expected to make presentations at the meeting. 
It was reliably gathered that representatives of Nigeria Governors Forum, NGF, will be meeting with the President and Service Chiefs later today.
The meeting between the President and the governors is not unconnected with recent attacks on the Borno State Governor, Professor Babagana Zulum by suspected terrorists.
