‘’Malam El-Rufai, who created the ministry at the beginning of his second-term in 2019, mandated it to manage the state government’s relationship with the federal security agencies and coordinate their activities towards securing the people in an atmosphere of unprecedented challenges,’’ he added.
The Special Adviser noted that ‘’with its frequent updates on security events, the Ministry has broken a longstanding taboo in making security information that was usually classified public.
