President Bola Tinubu has issued new directives to Nigeria’s Service Chiefs and heads of intelligence agencies as part of efforts to strengthen the nation’s security framework.

The President met with the security chiefs on Tuesday at the State House, Abuja, in a closed-door session that lasted over an hour. Speaking after the meeting, Chief of Defence Staff, General Olufemi Oluyede, described the engagement as “extensive,” noting that the President provided fresh guidance aimed at achieving more effective results in the fight against insecurity.
Gen. Oluyede assured Nigerians that the security agencies were enhancing coordination and were committed to ensuring peaceful celebrations during the yuletide season.
The development follows President Tinubu’s nomination of the immediate past CDS, General Christopher Musa (rtd), as the new Minister of Defence, succeeding Mohammed Badaru Abubakar, who resigned on Monday.
Analysts say both moves are part of a broader strategy to recalibrate the country’s security apparatus and deliver tangible results.
