The Nigerian govt has maintained that the recent change in Service Chiefs and the subsequent realignment within the Armed Forces and security agencies reflect President Bola Tinubu’s determination to reinvigorate Nigeria’s security architecture.

Addressing the press in Abuja on Wednesday, the Minister of Information and National Orientation, said the Tinubu administration is capable of handling the country’s security challenges and is open to partnering with the United States of America and any other country in achieving desired success.

“This strategic overhaul is designed to infuse fresh energy, innovation, and accountability into our national defence and intelligence systems,” the Minister added.

“The mission is to deliver better results, strengthen coordination among the services, and stamp out terrorism and violent crime in every part of Nigeria.”

Speaking further, the Minister said the President’s directive to the service chiefs is unequivocal, “that every inch of Nigerian territory must be secured, and every citizen must live free from fear.”

He said the military and other security agencies are winning the war on terrorism.

According to Idris, the results in the past years and most especially in the last two years of President Tinubu’s leadership are real and remarkable.

He noted that the President has always given the military his absolute support, assuring that there is the political will to remove the last vestiges of this menace from our country.

Idris said the Tinubu government shall continue to make the suspects accountable for disrupting the peace of our country, in consonance with the rule of law.

“The Government of Nigeria remains open and willing to work closely with the government of the United States, other friendly nations and partners, to achieve our shared goal of the complete elimination of terrorism on Nigerian soil.”
