10 Essential Measures Tinubu Must Implement to Combat Terrorism

Here are ten focused actions the president can take to strengthen security and end jihadist violence in troubled states. 1. Declare a targeted State of Emergency in high-risk areas. Replace state governments with a temporary military administration to restore order. 2. Roll out a universal State ID system. Every resident registers at their local council to help track movement and improve intelligence gathering. 3. Dissolve the Nigeria Immigration Service offices in hot zones. Redirect funds to more effective security operations. 4. Boost military pay. Use recovered public funds to raise frontline soldiers’ base salary to ₦500,000 monthly, plus bonuses for successful operations. 5. End amnesty programs for terrorists. Anyone caught conducting or aiding jihadist acts should face the prescribed death penalty. 6. Regulate livestock rearing. Issue army-verified permits for animal traders to curb funding routes for insurgents. 7. Enforce a strict curfew from 10pm to 8am. Ensure only essential workers move within restricted hours. 8. Vet all vigilante groups through military background checks. Remove any criminals disguised as local security volunteers. 9. Publicise security hotlines widely. Display emergency numbers across towns and social media for rapid reporting. 10. Invest in hybrid security tools. Expand drone surveillance and precision strike capabilities to monitor and neutralise threats.
