As part of its ongoing commitment to strengthening Nigeria’s response to violent extremism and national security threats, BRAVE-IT (Building Resilience Against Violent Extremism, Insurgency, and Terrorism) will host its 2025 National Security Breakfast Meeting on Thursday, July 10, 2025, at 3Js Hotel, Abuja, starting at 9:00 AM.
Themed: “Inter-Agency Collaborations and Citizens’ Cooperation in the Fight Against Kidnapping, Insurgency and Terrorism in Nigeria,” the high-level event will bring together top security officials, civil society actors, development partners, and community stakeholders to chart actionable paths for synergy in tackling Nigeria’s pressing security challenges.
Notably, the Chief of Defence Staff, General CG Musa, and the National Security Adviser, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu are expected to attend and deliver keynote addresses, alongside other senior representatives from the military, police, immigration, National Security and Defense Corp, Department of State Services (DSS), and paramilitary agencies.
According to BRAVE-IT’s National Coordinator, Sir. AK Peters, the forum aims to “strengthen bridges between security institutions and everyday citizens while highlighting the importance of unified action, intelligence sharing, and proactive engagement at all levels.”
“Our nation is at a critical juncture,” he said. “The threats we face, from kidnapping to insurgency, cannot be solved in silos. We must work across agencies, across communities, and across divides.”
The Breakfast Meeting will feature:
– Panel Discussions on inter-agency strategy, trust-building, and legal frameworks
– Case Presentations of successful community-based security interventions
– Interactive Session with security personnel and civil society leaders
– A Communiqué will be issued at the end of the meeting with key recommendations.
