Insecurity: Tinubu Directs Military, Other Security Agencies To Harmonise Operations
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has directed the armed forces, security and intelligent agencies to harmonise their operations and adopt a whole of society approach in combating evolving security challenges.
The President gave the directive at the opening of the Chief of Defence Staff Joint Task Force Commanders Conference, held at Defence Headquarters in Abuja
Tinubu underscored the critical importance of joint security operations to ensure effectiveness in tackling Nigeria’s security challenges.
The President was represented by Minister of Defence, Mohammed Badaru Abubakar.
He commended personnel of the Armed Forces for their unwavering dedication and sacrifice in safeguarding the nation.
According to him, the conference with the theme ‘Enhancing Jointness across all Theatres of Operations’, aligns with his administration’s strategic vision for a more secured Nigeria.
“This forum is expedient and timely especially at this time where the security landscape is dynamic and constantly evolving. Such a landscape undoubtedly requires us to harmonise our efforts and evolve proactive and innovative measures that can decisively address the security threats.”
Tinubu therefore emphasised the necessity for enhanced collaboration among the military, police, intelligence agencies, and other security organisations to maximise operational efficiency.
He reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to supporting all security agencies, and highlighted the importance of continuous evaluation of strategies, integration of emerging technologies, and strengthening of inter-agency cooperation.
“I therefore urge you to holistically explore, in detail, the concept of jointness, while harnessing the power of emerging technologies and innovation.
“I further implore you to continue to work together to ensure multi-agency synergy on all fronts as this will enable the Armed Forces of Nigeria to remain an agile, adaptable and lethal force performing at its highest potential.”
Tinubu hailed the Chief of Defence Staff for organising the conference and expressed confidence that the outcome will significantly contribute to strengthening Nigeria’s national security framework.
