President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has revealed that four advanced attack helicopters ordered from the United States are expected to arrive in Nigeria soon.
This announcement came during a meeting with leaders of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) on Friday, December 26, where the President reaffirmed his commitment to recalibrating the security architecture of Nigeria.
The President also stated that while the US order is in progress, the government has also reached out to Turkey for additional military assistance to bridge the hardware gap. President Tinubu emphasized that these new assets are critical for rapid response especially in ungoverned spaces.
The President stated that Nigeria is going to adopt modern hardware and structural police reform approaches, to tackle the security challenges of the country.
The President confirmed that State and Community Policing will become a reality as soon as the National Assembly completes the necessary legislative inputs.
During the meeting, the President urged religious bodies to act as prayer warriors and partners in vigilance.
The mood of the nation is peaceful, although our ungoverned spaces are so large. The challenge is real, but we will surmount it… We need your focus, vigilance, and cooperation – President Bola Tinubu.
Archbishop Daniel Okoh, President of CAN, commended president Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, stating that the 2025 Christmas season was one of the most peaceful in recent years, with the absence of reports of church attacks that had plagued previous years.
