President Tinubu noted that he has been receiving continuous briefings from service chiefs and frontline operatives, assuring Nigerians that his administration remains fully committed to restoring order and protecting citizens.


The President reaffirmed his stance that every Nigerian, regardless of location, deserves safety and peace of mind, adding that he “will not relent” in the effort to secure all parts of the country.


The statement underscores the Federal Government’s renewed focus on rapid response and coordinated action as security agencies continue operations in the affected regions.
