He established the organization to fulfill his promise in his first national address as president.<\/p>\n The former military president issued Decree Number 19, which dissolved the National Security Organization (NSO). He also restructured Nigeria\u2019s security services and divided them into three different entities. All of them are under the Office of the Co-ordination of National Security.<\/p>\n The three divisions are:<\/p>\n The SSS is responsible for all matters related to domestic intelligence. The NIA, on the other hand, is responsible for all matters related to foreign intelligence as well as counterintelligence operations.\u00a0 Finally, the DIA is formed to oversee all matters related to military intelligence.<\/p>\n What the NIA does has similarity to what the Secret Intelligence Service does in the United Kingdom.\u00a0 The Secret Intelligence Service is equally referred to as the MI6.\u00a0 They are also in the same class as the Canadian Security Intelligence Service and the Australian Secret Intelligence Service. The present Director General of the NIA is Ayo Oke.<\/p>\n The NIA have the mission to produce comprehensive, contextual and timely intelligence in issues related to internet security.\u00a0 They also provide all required supports to other arms of security in the country.\u00a0 They are professionals and are experts in planning intelligence investigations and activities.

Its officials are also patriotic to the cause of the country and its security.\u00a0 The motivation to do their job as required is also not lacking. They have the required manpower to deliver their tasks as desired.\u00a0 They carry out their assigned duty with the aid of top of the line technological gadgets.<\/p>\n Leadership is also impressive at the NIA.\u00a0 They are ever ready to collaborate with other units of intelligence in the country and they have been doing this successfully since inception till date. It is true the intelligence agencies in the country are divided into three sections; the three of them still work together for effective management of intelligence.<\/p>\n The NIA is divided into different sections and this further improves on their effectiveness. \u00a0\u00a0In order to improve on service effectiveness, the NIA also creates an opportunity for members of the general public to link up with them. This makes it easy for information gathering.\u00a0 Such further promotes effectiveness and makes their jobs easier to perform. \u00a0The NIA had been headed by non-military personnel since 1993 till date.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Does Nigeria have a replica of the FBI?
