The United States of America has confidence in the ability of the new National Security Adviser, retired Colonel Sambo Dasuki, to combat insecurity in Nigeria, especially the Boko Haram insurgency.

This view was expressed by Bruce Fein, the Associate Deputy Attorney General of the United States of America during the regime of former President Ronald Reagan.

Fein, now an internationally renowned constitutional attorney, scholar, writer and columnist, said such confidence comes from the training Dasuki has gone through in the United States both academically and military.

He said that Dasuki, who has a MA in Security Policy Studies (1992) and a BA in International Relations (1990) from The George Washington University, Washington, DC (1990-1992) and American University, Washington, DC (1988-1990), has the requisite knowledge to deal with the security challenges facing Nigeria.

He said that the training provided in the United States of America situates every challenge properly, adding: “The issue of terrorism requires that every situation is handled based on its peculiarity.

”For example, the issue of terrorism in Northern Ireland cannot be handled like that in Afghanistan or Iran”.

Fein’s remarks on Dasuki’s appointment reflect his broad knowledge of Nigerian affairs and high connections to the corridors of power in Washington, DC.
