Saturday, December 27, 2025 - President Bola Tinubu
has assured Nigerians that the ongoing recalibration of the nation’s security
architecture would soon yield results capable of restoring public confidence.
The President gave the assurance on Friday during a meeting
with a delegation of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, led by its
President, Archbishop Daniel Okoh, at his Lagos residence.
This is contained in a statement issued by Presidential
Spokesperson, Mr Bayo Onanuga.
Tinubu said his administration remained committed to
security sector reforms, including the establishment of state and community
policing to address emerging threats across the country.
“The mood of the nation is peaceful, although our ungoverned
spaces are so large. The challenge is real, but we will surmount it,” the
president said.
He called on religious leaders to support government efforts
through cooperation, vigilance and prayers, noting that some security measures
required time to mature.
“We are very religious. We are prayer warriors. We need your
focus, vigilance and cooperation,” he added.
The President said state and community police would become a
reality once the National Assembly completed the required legislative
processes.
Tinubu explained that delays in acquiring military hardware
were affecting public perception, noting that such equipment was expensive and
not readily available.
He disclosed that Nigeria had ordered four attack
helicopters from the United States, while also engaging Turkey for additional
support.
The President said the government remained resolute despite
the guerrilla tactics of bandits and insurgents, stressing that restoring peace
remained a top priority.
