The Presidential Think Tank on Defence and Security has sought the co-operation of Nigerians and non-state actors in protecting the country’s critical infrastructure, monuments and business assets.
The body, chaired by Major-General Abdulmalik Jubril (rtd), noted that these national infrastructure systems are critical to the functioning of the country.
Jubril stated this while briefing reporters on the planned National Summit on Protecting Nigeria’s Critical Infrastructure, Monument and Business Assets on Thursday in Abuja.
The Summit, which is scheduled to hold between December 6 and 7, 2021, comes after sustained attacks on critical national assets and security assets across the country.
AVM Tomboiyi Dick-Iruenabere, (retired) a member of the Think-Tank, briefed the reporters.
He said the summit was in response to President Muhammadu Buhari’s call to the armed forces and security agencies to work towards reducing the vulnerability of the country’s critical national infrastructure to threats and hazards.
He said President Buhari also directed the improvement of the resilience of such critical national infrastructure by strengthening their ability to withstand and recover from disruption.
