Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Lucky Irabor says the
Armed Forces of Nigeria (AFN) is advancing a new strategy towards addressing
insecurity.
The CDS made the disclosure on Wednesday at a Youth and
Security Summit organized by Abuja Global Shapers Community (AGSC) in
collaboration with the Defence Headquarters.
Irabor, as part of measures to sustain progress and
successes, said the military had adopted “the whole-of-society approach” to
solve challenges.
The Defence Chief noted that the youths could play a pivotal
role in advancing the course of national security.
The General called for more engagement of the demography in
issues affecting Nigeria to enable them to contribute to nation-building.
He said the AFN and AGSC partnership will help young
citizens to better understand the roles and responsibilities of the military in
surmounting internal and external threats.
“Engaging the youths is practically making them become part
and parcel of the fabric of stability of the society towards enhancing national
security,” he said.
Irabor listed national security components as freedom from
dangers and threats, a country’s ability to defend, develop, promote core
values and legitimate interests, as well as the wellbeing of the people.
