President Bola Tinubu has scheduled an emergency meeting with Nigeria’s security chiefs barely a day after his return from an 18-day working visit to Paris and London.
The presidential aircraft, Air Force 001, touched down at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja at 9:50pm on Monday, April 21, with Tinubu returning to mounting security concerns at home.
The decision comes amid renewed violence and rising death tolls in Plateau , Benue, and other flashpoints across the country.
Sources within the Presidency revealed that the President would meet with service chiefs and National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu to reassess the national security strategy and intensify operations in troubled zones, as reported by The Punch.
“The President will certainly meet the service chiefs to review the security situation across the country, especially in Plateau, Benue, and Borno.
“He’s been receiving regular briefings abroad and issuing instructions. Now that he’s back, he wants direct engagement,” a senior government official said.
The security meeting is expected to evaluate the effectiveness of current deployments and explore immediate tactical adjustments to curb the violence
In a parallel development, the Presidency has directed criticism at state governors, blaming them for inadequate support to security agencies within their territories.
This comes amid revelations that governors are spending disproportionately low amounts on security despite receiving substantial monthly security votes.
Speaking on TVC’s Beyond the Headlines, Presidential Adviser on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, accused some governors of token support to law enforcement agencies.“Some governors allocate just ₦20 million each to the SSS, police, and army while their monthly security vote ranges from ₦1 billion to ₦3 billion.
Where is the accountability?” he asked.Bwala argued that the solution to Nigeria’s security crisis does not lie solely in creating a state police system, but rather in better utilisation of existing funds and resources under the current security framework.
