Tinubu Reveals Foreign Support in Nigeria’s War on Terror — But Questions Deepen
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has revealed that Nigeria is receiving support from foreign countries to strengthen its ongoing fight against terrorism, banditry, and kidnapping. The disclosure came in his 2026 Easter message released on Good Friday, where he addressed the state of national security and the efforts being made to restore stability across the country.
In his message, the president acknowledged that despite continuous military operations and security interventions, Nigeria still faces serious security challenges, particularly in parts of the North and Middle Belt. He explained that his administration is investing heavily in modern military equipment, intelligence gathering, and advanced surveillance systems, while also building strategic partnerships with foreign nations to improve the effectiveness of security forces on the ground.
However, Tinubu did not disclose the identities of the countries providing this support, nor did he specify the exact nature of the assistance. This lack of transparency has raised concerns among citizens and analysts, many of whom are questioning how impactful these foreign partnerships truly are, especially as attacks continue to occur in several regions.
Recent incidents, including deadly violence in Plateau State, have intensified public anxiety and renewed calls for stronger and more visible results. While the president insists that progress is being made behind the scenes, stating that several key victories are not publicly disclosed for strategic reasons, many Nigerians remain skeptical.
According to him, security chiefs have assured the government that military operations are improving, terrorist activities are being reduced in some areas, and targeted offensives against criminal groups are yielding results. Despite these assurances, the central question remains: if foreign support is truly in place, why does insecurity persist?
As Nigeria continues its battle against terrorism, this revelation has added another layer to the national conversation, raising critical debates about transparency, effectiveness, and the real impact of international cooperation in securing the country.
