A customs specialist advocates for the creation of an integrated and effective intelligence structure to equip Niger with the necessary means to face the complex challenges of the 21st century. This proposal is part of a perspective aimed at strengthening national sovereignty and improving Niger's standing in the community of nations.
The author proposes the establishment of a 'Nigerian Intelligence Community' to enhance national security, stimulate the economy, and improve Niger's position on the international stage.
The need for increased collaboration between intelligence services underscores the importance of strengthened coordination among various intelligence branches (military, customs, police) to effectively combat smuggling, terrorism, and cross-border crime.
Mr. Abdoul-Kader draws inspiration from the American model of the 'United States Intelligence Community' to illustrate the effectiveness of such a structure in the economic and strategic domains.
Facing the security and economic challenges Niger confronts, an intelligence community would allow for better anticipation of threats, protection of national interests, and promotion of economic development.
The community would be led by a committee composed of representatives from different intelligence services (military, customs, police, etc.). It would be financed by a percentage of the revenue generated from anti-crime and anti-smuggling activities.
Within this framework, the government would have more reliable and comprehensive information to formulate its policies.
The community would foster cooperation with Niger’s partners in the fields of security and intelligence.
Finally, with this structure, the protection of national industries and the fight against corruption would promote economic development.
