Nigeria security: Tinubu orders new national threat assessment and five-year defence plan
President Bola Tinubu has inaugurated a high-level presidential committee to overhaul Nigeria’s security framework. The committee is tasked with producing a comprehensive National Threat Assessment and a rolling five-year Strategic Defence Operations Plan within a 90-day deadline.
Inaugurated by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume, the panel aims to shift the nation’s security posture from reactive responses to proactive anticipation of threats. The initiative seeks to align state spending with actual defence needs and identify capability gaps across various institutions.
The committee is coordinated by the Special Adviser to the President on Homeland Security, Major General Adeyinka Famadewa (Rtd). It includes high-ranking officials such as National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu, Defence Minister Christopher Musa, and the chiefs of the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Police, alongside directors of the DSS and NIA.
