Minister Of Defence And National Security Adviser. Who Is More Powerful? by iykemoney90(m): 10:10am On Apr 15, 2017 |
I'm made to ask this because I hardly see any news on minister of defense unlike National Security Adviser. Who is more powerful constitutionally? |

Immediately I sited mynd44 I thought that the thread has been closed as usual not knowing that he came to drop a comment. The truth is that the National Security adviser seems to command more influence and popularity but the minster of defense gather more responsibilities. ATM Dasuki and late Andrew Azizi were more influential than the former Minister of defense under Jonathan. |

The NSA is very very powerful. The Minister is just a political appointee, an appendage... Advisers are the most powerful people because they can swing decisions. 2 Likes |

Mynd44:Negative NSA is more than minister of Defence All intelligence services report to him NSA is responsible for briefing the president & providing counter intelligence/ response NSA runs Nigeria's elite AFSF in the front lines The minister is political head coordinating MOD For him to get any major security project done, he needs NSA to give green light to Mr Prez 2 Likes |

Mynd44: illiterate, na now i know say you no go school. Yes, ban me! How can you say a mere Defence Minister is same in superiority with a powerful position like that of National Security Adviser that has SSS, NIA, all military and intelligence agencies report to him and he is their boss except the Commander-in-Chief (C in C)? Both local and foreign intelligence reports end on his table before he presents to C-in-C. No military action can be taken anywhere without his final advice to the C-in- C. Defence Minister can not even see or have access to the President without NSA approval. I say again, you are an illiterate. Ban me 3 Likes |

kaboninc:The NSA too is a Political Appointee, just like the Minister of Defence. I mean, none of them were elected by the Nigeria Populace. |
Re: Minister Of Defence And National Security Adviser. Who Is More Powerful? by Dedetwo(m): 4:00pm On Feb 20, 2020 |
kaboninc: NSA (National Security Agency) is not more powerful than Ministry of defense. National Security Adviser and Minister of Defense are political appointees National Security Adviser and Minister of Defense are advisers to Presidency. National Security Adviser will not attend any meeting of the ministers however National Security Adviser and Minister of Defense may attend National Security Executive meetings. National Security Adviser does not represent the country as do the Minister of Defense on the continental matters. |

AirFireEarthH20: I do not know about Nigeria but the bolded is laughable. National Security Adviser is not even the Director of National Security Agency. SSS, NIA, all military intelligence agencies do not report to National Security Adviser however they brief him/her on the need-to-know bases. All military intelligence agencies report to Ministry of Defense. National Security Adviser to president only gets to know what has been briefed to the president. He/she is not the Director of National Security Agency. |

In Nigeria it is not clear and depends on the President We all remember how powerful Sergeant Roger was to the extent that he was ordering generals around. An NSA can become extremely powerful if the president allows it but that is not set out constitutionally Under military government e.g IBB Abacha was Minister of defence and more powerful In the American system which we copy the Secretary of defence is a more senior position The NSA works with the Whitehouse and is clearly below the level of a Secretary Those saying that NSA is this and that are talking rubbish he has no authority over any soldier The NSA can only wield Sergeant Roger type power when the president allows it deliberately or out of weakness The Minister of Defence should be the more senior person |

iykemoney90: Many of you have been taught wrong, amongst these very few have undertaken self-development and corrected their deficiency....but many are still wallowing in their defective knowledge. Im going to present you a path to gain knowledge on this subject you opened thread to discuss. What is the statutory function of a NSA? What is the statutory function of a Minister of Defense? |
