President Bola Tinubu has charged Nigeria’s service chiefs to take decisive action against emerging threats, including terrorists, bandits, insurgents, and separatist agitators. He emphasized that these groups pose grave existential threats to the nation’s unity and peace, destroying churches and mosques alike, and orphaning children without regard to tribe or faith.
Tinubu assured the military of his full support, promising sustained investments in modern weaponry, intelligence, and manpower to ensure Nigeria’s sovereignty and security. He also acknowledged the sacrifices of fallen heroes and wounded soldiers, vowing that their memory will endure through generations.
The President’s charge was delivered at the 2025 Nigerian Army Day Celebration, where he reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to the welfare of military personnel and their families. He urged troops to carry out their duties with professionalism, courage, and discipline, guided by the Constitution and international best practices.
