The Coordinator of the National Counter Terrorism Centre (NCTC), Major General Adamu Laka, has stated that Realistic training of personnel involved in crisis management must incorporate the fact that terrorist acts do not occur at the most convenient times.
General Laka stated this at the Strategic Commanders’ Course organised by the National Counter Terrorism Centre (NCTC), Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), in collaboration with the British High Commission (BHC), on Monday, 24th February 2025.
According to General Laka, managing crises provoked by terrorists involves a blend of anticipation, preparation, organisation, and application.
“Law enforcement agencies need to learn as much as possible about contemporary terrorism. Our experience in counterterrorism over the years has shown that kinetic approaches cannot end terrorism alone.
“Therefore, we place significant emphasis on non-kinetic approaches to counterterrorism, focusing on addressing the root causes of terrorism and violent extremism.
“The aim of this course is to provide strategic commanders with the requisite training required to provide support to their respective strategic operations in the event of a major incident or crisis,” he said.
