NGF Lauds Tinubu for Historic Creation of Four New Army Divisions

Nigeria's state governors have lauded President Bola Tinubu's recent decision to create four new Army divisions, viewing it as a crucial enhancement to the nation's security architecture. The Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) issued a statement welcoming the initiative, which aims to bolster the military's capacity to address diverse security challenges across the country.

According to the NGF Chairman and Governor of Kwara State, the establishment of these new divisions represents a forward-thinking approach to national defense. The forum believes this strategic expansion will improve operational effectiveness and responsiveness in combating insurgency, banditry, and other forms of criminality plaguing various regions. The move signals a commitment from the highest levels of government to prioritize and strengthen the armed forces.

The governors' endorsement highlights a unified front in supporting the president's security agenda. This collaborative spirit between the federal government and state leadership is seen as vital for implementing effective security strategies. The creation of new divisions is expected to lead to better deployment of resources and personnel, ultimately contributing to a more secure and stable Nigeria.
