Abstract

The task of regulating the activities along the nation’s border and ensuring national security calls
for designing and redesigning security architect particularly in dissemination and utilization of
intelligence among the security agencies and in the Nigeria Customs Service (NCR). The
prevalence of violence in Nigeria and illegal inflow of arms, drugs and persons informed the
need to examine the dissemination and utilization of intelligence, its implication on national
security and the challenges associated with it. The paper was descriptive and combined primary
and secondary sources of data collection. The primary source adopted questionnaire while the
secondary combined interview and available materials. The study found that NCS relied largely
on human intelligence, while there was weak cooperation between the NCR and other security
agencies which in turn negatively affected dissemination and utilization of intelligence with
grave implications of national security. In dissemination and utilization of intelligence, the NCR
was largely guided by the relevance, timeliness and trustworthiness of the intelligence.
Challenges associated with dissemination and utilization of intelligence included poor
technological development, jealousy and lack of trust. The study recommended that the NSC
should endeavour to improve the relationship between it and other security agencies while the
poor network of communication equipment should be attended to and for the borders to be
properly manned to checkmate illegal inflow of banned and dangerous items to ensure national
security.
