•Unveils de-radicalisation Programme

The National Security Adviser (ONSA), Col. Sambo Dasuki, has vowed to stop the capacity of the Boko Haram terrorist group to recruit new members.
This is part of the country's triple-component countering violent extremism (CVE) programme,
Dasuki who was represented by the  Director, Behavioural Analysis and Strategic Communications, Office of the NSA (ONSA), Dr. Fatima Akilu, stated this on Friday in Abuja at the unveiling of the de-radicalisation programme
He said that the event was an interactive session organized by ONSA with the support of the European Union (EU) through the Instrument Contributing to Stability and Peace (IcSP), in order to familiarize the public with the efforts of government in its soft approaches to counter-terrorism.

Dasuki noted that every country has a tailored deradicalisation programme with Nigeria having three main components of the CVE ~ counter-radicalisation, de-radicalisation programme and strategic communication.
He said: "Every country has a tailored deradicalisation program, which takes a different form from other programs in different parts of the world; the programs share the fundamental principle of ensuring that would-be terrorists must be dissuaded from radical belief systems in the interpretation of religion and behaviour towards others.
