Defence Minister Scores Tinubu’s Security at 70% Despite Rising School Abductions
Nigeria’s Defence Minister Christopher Musa says security has improved by around 70% under President Tinubu’s administration. In an interview on a national news channel, he highlighted significant progress in the fight against terrorism and insurgency. He noted that ongoing military operations and partnerships with countries like the US, UK and France have weakened extremist groups, even as isolated kidnappings continue. Musa stressed that no nation is completely crime-free and called kidnapping a societal issue that requires stronger family values and community involvement. He also revealed recent operations that eliminated a senior ISIS-linked commander. Despite these gains, many Nigerians remain unconvinced. Fresh school abductations in Borno and Oyo States have fuelled debate online. Some applaud the improvements, while others argue daily threats belie official ratings. Is Nigeria safer today, and do you agree with the 70% security score?
