This retreat is targeted at fostering better cooperation between members of the committees and the security agencies they have oversight functions over including the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), the Department for State Services (DSS), Nigeria Intelligence Agency, (NIA) the Presidential Fleet, among others.

It will further boost the ability of the parliamentarians to make valuable proactive contributions to the operations of the relevant agencies and enhance the exchange of information / ideas on ongoing initiatives towards improving accountability, interagency collaboration and coordination. It will also expose both the parliamentarians and heads of agencies to ways of promoting efficiency and synergy towards overcoming the current security threats in Nigeria. The retreat is part of Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung’s support to the Security Sector Reform in Nigeria. This program is funded by the Federal Foreign Office of Germany.
