A senator representing Kaduna Central, Major-General S. Saleh (retd), yesterday said that Nigerians should not expect much from the newly appointed national security adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd), as according to him, the office of the national security adviser is neither an agency nor an executive office, but only an adviser to coordinate national intelligence and advise the president on various options.
Saleh made this observation shortly after the official closing of the Nigeria Army Day celebration at the Murtala Mohammed Square, Kaduna. “You don’t just expect the NSA to personally solve problems.
The president will solve the problems based on the advice and intelligence report of the NSA,’’ he said, adding that anybody who expects the NSA to solve all the security challenges in the country is only deceiving himself.
He, however, commended the efforts of the NSA so far, saying, “I must commend the new NSA’s approach. The way he started is really commendable.”
