Tinubu assures Nigerians of security, backs state police

President Bola Tinubu on Friday assured Nigerians that the ongoing recalibration of the nation’s security architecture would soon yield results capable of restoring public confidence in the system.

The President, according to a statement issued on Saturday by his Special Adviser om Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, gave the assurance during a meeting with a delegation of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), led by its President, Archbishop Daniel Okoh, at his Lagos residence.

Tinubu said his administration remained committed to security sector reforms, including the establishment of state and community policing to address emerging threats across the country.

“The mood of the nation is peaceful, although our ungoverned spaces are so large. The challenge is real, but we will surmount it,” the President stated.

The President said state and community police would become a reality once the National Assembly completed the required legislative processes.

“Community and State Police will be a reality once the National Assembly completes the required legislative inputs,” he stated.
