Coordinate Five-Year National Security Threat Assessment, Defence Plan - Tinubu to Homeland Security

The plan will guide military priorities, identify key threats and support a coordinated defence budget and procurement strategy, officials said.

  • On Wednesday, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ordered the preparation of a comprehensive National Threat Assessment and a rolling five-year Strategic Defence Operations Plan during a Federal Executive Council meeting in Abuja.
  • Tinubu stated that operational requirements are currently handled individually, complicating coordination and resource deployment; the new framework will provide a unified understanding of threats, objectives, and necessary capabilities.
  • An 11-member committee led by Major General Adeyinka Famadewa will draft the documents, with members including National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu and Defence Minister General Christopher Musa.
  • The rescue of pupils in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State demonstrates the importance of agency collaboration, proving the effectiveness of working together with clear objectives.
  • Within 90 days, the committee will submit the completed assessment and plan for approval; once ratified, the framework will guide military and defence operations over the medium term.
