President Bola Tinubu has praised the governors of Borno, Katsina, and Kaduna states for making progress in improving security in their regions.
He spoke during the opening of the second National Economic Council Conference in Abuja on Monday, February 9, 2026, noting that their efforts have contributed to better protection against terrorism and banditry.
The president reaffirmed his commitment to strengthening Nigeria’s security agencies to tackle threats to the nation.
He acknowledged that insecurity has been a serious concern for leaders and expressed confidence that the country can overcome these challenges with determination.
President Tinubu said, “We will overcome this unacceptable terrorism and banditry. It is not part of our culture. It is foreign to us. If we do not find an immediate solution, it is an economic sabotage. I commend many of you, particularly the governor of Borno State, the governor of Katsina, the governor of Kaduna, and many others who have done so much to defend our freedom, liberty, and our commonwealth.”
