President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to restoring peace and stability across the northern part of the country, declaring that he “will not allow the region to bleed any further.”
Speaking during a high-level security meeting held at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, the President expressed deep concern over the recurring attacks, communal clashes, and criminal activities that have affected several northern states. Tinubu emphasized that protecting citizens remains a top priority and that no effort will be spared in tackling the root causes of insecurity.
According to the President, the government is intensifying its coordinated security strategy involving the military, intelligence agencies, and community leaders. He noted that recent security reviews have led to the deployment of additional personnel to vulnerable areas, alongside the introduction of improved surveillance technology and strengthened border monitoring.
Tinubu also stressed the importance of collaboration between federal authorities, state governments, and traditional rulers. He urged northern leaders to work closely with security agencies to identify trouble spots, mediate local disputes, and support community-based peacebuilding initiatives.
The President stated that beyond military operations, the government is expanding economic and social programs designed to reduce poverty and unemployment—factors he described as contributing to youth involvement in criminal networks. He highlighted ongoing agricultural support schemes, job creation efforts, and education reforms as part of the broader plan to stabilize the region.
Tinubu concluded by assuring citizens that the government is fully committed to ensuring safety, rebuilding affected communities, and restoring public confidence. He appealed for calm, unity, and cooperation as the nation works toward long-term peace.
