Rivers State Sole Administrator, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (rtd.), has tasked participants of Senior Course 47 of the Armed Forces Command and Staff College, Jaji, to produce actionable recommendations addressing Nigeria’s security challenges.

Speaking through the Secretary to the State Government, Prof. Ibibia Worika, during a courtesy visit by the team to Government House, Port Harcourt, Ibas emphasized the need for grassroots intelligence and practical strategies to tackle insecurity.

He noted that insecurity hampers economic growth and deters investment, stressing that internal security cannot succeed without credible feedback mechanisms.

Team leader Commodore S.O. Abdularaheen stated the study tour is part of national research themed “Harnessing Grassroots Intelligence for Enhanced Internal Security,” with findings to aid policymaking.
