Tinubu Orders Comprehensive Security Review, Gives Security Chiefs 90 Days to Produce National Threat Assessment, 5-Year Defence Plan

ValidViewNetwork can report that President Bola Tinubu has given Nigeria’s defence, intelligence and security chiefs 90 days to produce a comprehensive National Threat Assessment and a Five-Year Strategic Defence Operations Plan aimed at transforming the country’s response to evolving security threats.

The directive, which comes amid growing concerns over insecurity across the country, tasks the security chiefs with developing a coordinated strategy to address terrorism, banditry, kidnapping and other forms of violent crime.

ValidViewNetwork understands that the plan is expected to provide a roadmap for strengthening Nigeria’s defence architecture and improving inter-agency coordination.

What This Means

ValidViewNetwork can analyse that the 90-day deadline reflects the urgency with which the administration views the security challenge.

The directive comes just days after President Tinubu ordered an immediate rescue operation for victims of the mass abduction in Niger State, where between 60 and 80 people were kidnapped during Friday prayers in Dekara village.

The development also follows the reported release of 48 children by an armed gang in central Nigeria following a ransom payment, highlighting the persistent security challenges facing the country.
