President Bola Tinubu has authorized the procurement of additional military equipment to bolster the Armed Forces’ campaign against insurgency and terrorism nationwide.
Minister of Defence Gen. Christopher Musa (rtd), disclosed this after leading Service Chiefs to the Presidential Villa in Abuja, Thursday.
Musa said the service chiefs provided the President with a comprehensive update on ongoing operations and the prevailing security landscape across the country.
While acknowledging a spate of recent attacks, the minister emphasized that security forces have “continued to respond and rise to the occasion,” inflicting significant losses on terrorist networks.
He confirmed that several high-ranking militant commanders had been neutralized in recent engagements, with troops seizing enemy assets.
The minister paid tribute to fallen service members, describing their deaths as “highly regrettable,” but stressed that military resolve remains unshaken.
