  "summary": "The National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, has warned that terrorist groups are exploiting porous borders, local grievances, illicit financial networks, digital platforms, and online radicalisation to expand their operations across Africa. He emphasised that Nigeria’s experience over the past 15 years has shown that military operations alone are insufficient to combat terrorism, and that a whole-of-government and whole-of-society approach is necessary. The National Counter-Terrorism Centre (NCTC) organised the High-Level African Lessons Learned Forum in Abuja, aiming to foster greater intelligence coordination, partnerships, and cooperation among African nations and their international allies to counter terrorism and violent extremism.",
