President Bola Tinubu has restated his administration’s determination to tackle insecurity across the country, emphasising that no citizen should be forced to live in fear.
Tinubu cancelled his planned trip to the G20 Summit in South Africa to personally oversee national security operations following a wave of abductions. He described security as a basic entitlement of the Nigerian people.
In a statement posted on his X handle on Sunday, the President pledged that the government would continue to intensify its efforts against criminal activities nationwide.
“Let me be clear: I will not relent. Every Nigerian, in every state, has the right to safety — and under my watch, we will secure this nation and protect our people,” he said.
