Speaking on the rising insecurity in the country, the Chief Executive Officer, Beacon Intel,Dr Kabir Adamu, said successive administrations failed to implement the needed reforms in the security sector.

“Individuals and corporate organisations must understand threats and the inherent risks, a necessary prerequisite for adopting the appropriate risk treatment. As security threats are transient, the approach should be dynamic and forward-looking,” Adamu said. (The PUNCH)
