Olukolade, who is the board chairman of the Centre for Crisis Communication , said the organisation conducted a comprehensive assessment of the performance of Nigeria’s security services based on media coverage in June.“The leading authority in crisis management expressed concern over the restiveness and escalating tension in some states, warning that it could lead to conflict and exacerbate current security challenges,” he said during a press briefing in Abuja.
