The Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) has officially voiced its support for President Bola Tinubu’s recent decision to establish four additional army divisions throughout Nigeria. This significant expansion represents the most substantial growth of the Nigerian Army in recent times and highlights the administration’s dedication to safeguarding citizens and their property.
Beyond the new divisions, the NGF expressed approval for the President’s authorization to recruit 28,000 new soldiers and procure essential military equipment. The Forum noted that these resources should prove vital in bolstering operations against terrorism and banditry across the nation. The governors affirmed their commitment to partnering with the federal government on security and broader development goals.
Furthermore, the Forum appealed to the public to remain cooperative with security forces, specifically emphasizing the importance of providing intelligence to authorities to help improve safety in every region.
