President Tinubu Establishes Directorate of State Liaison in ONSA, Appoints Lami Chinade as Director
In a move to enhance federal-state collaboration on security matters, President Bola Tinubu has created the Directorate of State Liaison (DSL) within the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA). Lami Chinade, a seasoned lawyer with over 30 years of experience, has been appointed as the director.
The DSL will oversee joint decisions between state governors and ONSA, ensuring effective coordination of national security efforts. Key responsibilities include:
- Maintaining a comprehensive database of state and local government contacts
- Developing community engagement programs
- Facilitating cooperation between federal ministries and agencies on security initiatives
Chinade’s expertise is expected to bring valuable insights to the role, particularly in deploying monitoring mechanisms and evaluating national security programs.
This development is part of President Tinubu’s broader agenda to strengthen proactive communication and policy implementation between the federal government, state governments, and local government authorities.
