President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Sunday led an expanded security strategy session at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, as the government steps up efforts to restore calm in communities recently rattled by a series of abductions.
Writing on his verified 𝕏 account, the President disclosed that the meeting brought together the nation’s top security chiefs, including the Chief of Defence Staff, the Chief of Army Staff, the Inspector-General of Police, and the Director-General of the Department of State Services.
Tinubu explained that the briefing centred on updated intelligence from affected regions and the formulation of fresh directives aimed at accelerating coordinated security operations on the ground.
“I am in an extended security session with the heads of our defence and intelligence institutions at the State House,” the President stated. “We are reviewing new field reports and taking decisive steps to stabilise the troubled areas and safeguard our citizens. I am receiving continuous updates and have instructed all security agencies to act with speed, accuracy, and unwavering determination.
“As President, my commitment to the safety of every Nigerian is absolute. Anyone who attempts to undermine the peace and security of our nation will face the full force of the law. Nigeria will prevail.”
