Under the new directive, the Federal Government will prioritise infrastructure upgrades, modern equipment acquisition, and curriculum reforms in line with global standards.
Tinubu said the move was aimed at ensuring that security personnel receive the best possible training to effectively respond to threats ranging from terrorism and banditry to cybercrime and internal conflicts.
He emphasised that professional development and tactical readiness remain central to his administration’s security strategy, adding that the overhaul would also address welfare and operational efficiency within the institutions.
The President reaffirmed his government’s resolve to restore peace and stability across the country through improved coordination among security agencies and stronger investment in human capital development within the defence sector.
