As Nigeria continues to grapple with insecurity and evolving security threats, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has taken a new step by creating the office of Special Adviser on Homeland Security.

The move, which comes amid growing concerns over security coordination in the country, has sparked conversations among Nigerians, legal experts and security analysts.

While the Presidency says the office is aimed at strengthening intelligence coordination and improving internal security response, some Nigerians are asking whether creating another security office can truly bring the change they want to see.

In this episode of Nigeria Daily, we examine why the Tinubu administration created the Homeland Security office, whether the law supports it, and what impact it could have on Nigeria’s fight against insecurity.
