The Minister of State for Defence, Dr. Bello Matawalle, on Tuesday met with President Bola Tinubu to deliver a detailed briefing on the security situation in the Northwest region and other parts of Nigeria.

The meeting underscored the government’s ongoing efforts to address the security challenges posed by insurgency, banditry, and other criminal activities across the nation.

During the high-level discussion at the Presidential Villa, President Tinubu commended Minister Matawalle for his leadership in overseeing the defence sector and lauded the Nigerian security forces for their commitment and bravery.

“Your exemplary leadership has been pivotal in advancing our national security goals,” Tinubu said, referring to Matawalle’s work since his appointment.

The president expressed his deep appreciation for the relentless efforts of the military and security personnel in ensuring peace and stability, particularly in regions that have been severely affected by conflict and violence.

He emphasized the importance of continuous vigilance in the fight against insurgency and other threats to national security.

“The sacrifices of our security forces are invaluable, and we are committed to providing them with the necessary resources to ensure they succeed in their mission of protecting Nigeria,” Tinubu stated.

He reiterated his administration’s unwavering support for the defence ministry and the broader security apparatus.

Dr. Matawalle, in his report to the president, outlined the progress made in securing vulnerable areas in the Northwest, which has faced a decade-long insurgency primarily driven by Boko Haram and other extremist groups.

He noted that recent military operations have considerably weakened the operational capacity of these groups.

“We have made significant strides, but the work is far from over. Our forces remain fully committed to restoring peace and normalcy to all affected regions,” Matawalle said.

The minister also highlighted the importance of sustained collaboration between security agencies and local communities in combating insurgency.

He assured the president that plans were in place to enhance security operations in both the Northeast and other troubled areas across the country.

President Tinubu, in response, stressed the need for a holistic approach to the country’s security challenges. He called for increased cooperation between various arms of government, security agencies, and regional leaders to achieve long-term stability and peace.

The meeting concluded with a renewed sense of urgency in addressing the nation’s security concerns, with both the president and the minister expressing optimism about the ongoing efforts.

Matawalle acknowledged Tinubu’s consistent support, stating that it had been instrumental in driving recent successes in the military campaign against insurgency and banditry.

The Nigerian government has been intensifying its efforts to improve security across the country, with particular focus on the Northeast, where insurgent activities have displaced millions and caused widespread destruction.

In recent months, security forces have launched several offensives aimed at neutralizing terrorist strongholds, while the government has also pursued dialogue and reintegration programs.

“Our top priority remains the safety of our citizens, and we will do everything within our power to ensure that every Nigerian can live in peace and security,” he concluded.
