President Bola Tinubu has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to strengthening Nigeria’s security architecture, stressing that he has prioritised national security as a fundamental aspect of his governance.
Speaking at the Chief of Defence Staff Joint Task Force Commanders Conference in Abuja on Wednesday, Tinubu lauded the military and security agencies for their relentless efforts in combating security threats across the country.
Represented by the Minister of Defence, Muhammed Badaru, the President said, “ While I applaud the tremendous efforts of the Armed Forces, I wish to also commend the various joint task forces and security agencies operating across the country for demonstrating the tenacity to bring all armed criminals to book.
“This has been instrumental in ensuring peace and stability within our country. Let me assure you that I have prioritised Nigeria’s security and will remain committed to supporting our Armed Forces and other security and para-military agencies in discharging assigned tasks and responsibilities,”
Tinubu also emphasised the need for synergy among all security arms to effectively tackle the evolving security landscape.
He urged conference participants to explore innovative solutions, integrate emerging technologies, and foster multi-agency cooperation to counter the nation’s security threats effectively.
The Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Christopher Musa, highlighted the growing security threats posed by the proliferation of improvised explosive devices and the increasing use of armed drones by terrorists.
