President Bola Ahmed Tinubu held a private meeting on Friday with top security officials at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
The gathering involved the Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa; the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Olufemi Oluyede; the Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Hassan Abubakar; the Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Emmanuel Ogalla; and the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun.
The meeting comes at a time when parts of the country are facing fresh security challenges. In recent weeks, security forces have been trying to contain renewed attacks by armed groups, especially in the northern region.
Though the details of the discussions were not made public, it is believed that the worsening security situation was among the main issues addressed.
The meeting also took place just a day before the President’s planned departure to Rome.
He is expected to attend the inauguration mass of Pope Leo XIV after receiving an official invitation from the Vatican.
