President Bola Tinubu has pledged to intensify efforts to address insecurity across the country. He made the commitment on Sunday in Lagos while hosting Vice-President Kashim Shettima and 23 state governors at his residence for Eid al-Fitr.
The president said insecurity remains a major threat to development, adding that his administration is strengthening international partnerships to secure equipment and support. He noted discussions with Emmanuel Macron and engagements with other countries as part of ongoing security efforts.
Tinubu also urged governors to provide more incentives to cushion the impact of rising inflation, which he linked to the Middle East crisis. He said the government must prioritise support for vulnerable citizens as economic pressures increase.
