During the session, the security chiefs updated the President, who is the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, on operations across the country and outlined strategies being deployed to address insecurity in various regions.
The officials noted that security conditions have shown signs of improvement and expressed determination to sustain the progress through enhanced operational measures.
They also stressed the importance of intelligence gathering and sharing in tackling security challenges, while agreeing to deepen cooperation with neighbouring countries to strengthen cross-border security and improve overall effectiveness.
Held behind closed doors, the meeting highlighted the Tinubu administration’s commitment to improving coordination among security agencies as part of broader efforts to enhance public safety and maintain national stability.
The meeting comes as the Federal Government intensifies initiatives to address insecurity nationwide. As part of these efforts, President Tinubu has forwarded a bill seeking the establishment of state police to the National Assembly, a move aimed at strengthening grassroots policing and improving security across the country.
