Fintiri Delivers Lecture On Ethnic Militias, Resource Competition And National Security At NISS

Adamawa State Governor, Rt. Hon. Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, has delivered a lecture on ethnic militias, resource competition and their implications for national security at the National Institute for Security Studies (NISS), Bwari, Abuja.

The lecture, titled “Ethnic Militia and Resource Competition: National Security Implications – The Adamawa State Experience,” was presented to participants of the Executive Intelligence Management Course 19 (EIMC/19).

Drawing on Adamawa State’s experience, Governor Fintiri examined the relationship between ethnic identity, competition over natural resources and communal conflicts, particularly disputes involving land, traditional authority and access to economic opportunities.

The lecture also explored the broader implications of these challenges for peace, stability, development and national security.

The engagement provided an opportunity to examine the roles of effective governance, conflict prevention, inclusive development and institutional collaboration in addressing the underlying causes of insecurity.

The National Institute for Security Studies, located in Bwari, Abuja, provides advanced training and research in intelligence management, security and strategic studies.
