Why Tinubu Can’t End Nigeria’s Insecurity in Three Years

Ending insecurity in Nigeria within three years is unrealistic. The crisis stems from decades of conflict, coups, terrorism, and banditry. Multiple factors drive insecurity. Poverty, youth unemployment, weak institutions, corruption, and climate-related clashes fuel violence. Porous borders allow arms trafficking and extremist influence. President Tinubu has blocked subsidy and forex rackets and saved trillions of naira. Yet kidnappings, school abductions, and banditry remain widespread. Opposition leaders argue insecurity has worsened under his watch. In three years, Tinubu could strengthen security institutions, boost job creation, and deepen regional cooperation. He can also expand surveillance and intelligence systems. These steps may reduce violence but cannot eliminate it entirely.
