President Bola Tinubu has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to finding lasting solutions to terrorism and banditry in Nigeria.
The president made the remarks on Monday during his opening address at the ongoing National Executive Council (NEC) conference on Inclusive Growth and Sustainable National Development in Abuja. He praised several state governors, particularly those of Borno, Katsina, and Kaduna, for their efforts in protecting national security and maintaining freedom.
“And I am leaving here again to further find means to strengthen our security forces to defeat terrorism and banditry, that I promise you. It’s an economic encumbrance if we do not find a solution to it. It is what has kept all of us sleepless at night, but I assure you that we will win with determination and resiliency. We will overcome this unacceptable terrorism and banditry; it’s not part of our culture, it’s foreign to us,” he said.
On the economic front, President Tinubu highlighted the government’s efforts to strengthen macroeconomic stability through improved revenue performance, stronger public financial management, and enhanced coordination across sectors.
“We have prioritised infrastructure development across transportation, power, digital connectivity, housing, and irrigation as catalysts for inclusive growth,” he added, stressing that these initiatives are aimed at fostering sustainable national development.
The president’s remarks underscored the twin focus of his administration on improving security and advancing economic transformation to benefit all Nigerians.
