The Nigerian Institute of Industrial Security (NIIS) has advised the federal government of Nigeria to embrace technology by equiping security agencies with advanced facilities to confront the rising insecurity across the country.
Rising from its 2024 17th Annual Security Conference in Lagos yesterday, December 14, the NIIS said that the only way to speedily address insecurity, including kidnapping, terrorism and others is for the government to adopt advance technology.
The NIIS, headed by its President, Alhaji Isa Ozi Salami OFR, commended the efforts of the nation’s security forces for their commitment to securing the country from criminals, but stressed that with provision of state-of-the-art fighting tools, they would do better.
The theme of the 17th Security Conference was: “Holistic Security in the Industrial Age: Integrating, Innovation, Ciber Resilience and Human Factor.”
Experts in security system, including the Assistant Inspector General of Police, Fayode Adegote took turn to speak at the Conference and reached a consensus that there is need for government to equip security agencies with sophisticated, and technologically advanced tools to face the modern security challenges.
Speaking to newsmen shortly after the conference, the Institute’s President, Isa Ozi Salami said that the conference did not bother itself about what happened in the past, but “looked forward to what needs to be done to holistically address the insecurity in the country.”
