Episode Details

Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu is launching a major military overhaul, expanding the army from eight to twelve divisions and recruiting 28,000 new soldiers to tackle escalating security threats—from Islamist insurgency in the northeast to banditry in the northwest and separatist tensions in the southeast. New units will be deployed across key regions including Makurdi, Ilorin, Jalingo, and Benin City, with full operational readiness targeted by December. The push also includes modernizing equipment, boosting troop welfare, and strengthening overall military capacity to ensure Nigeria is better prepared to defend its borders and protect its citizens.
