President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has shown commitment to regional cooperation among African leaders to combat insecurity in the sub-regional entities of the continent.

The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, visiting President Tinubu at his Lagos residence, said that President Tinubu is emphasizing calls for regional and international support to combat insecurity in Nigeria and restore stability across the Sahel region.

Idris highlighted the significance of the visit of Chadian President, Mahamat Idriss Déby Itno, to President Tinubu at the State House, Abuja, last week. He said the visit was timely and strategic in the face of security concerns across the region.

Reaffirming President Tinubu’s commitment to strengthening regional and international partnerships to tackle terrorism and other security threats across the region, the Minister said the meeting between President Tinubu and his Chadian counterpart, Mahamat Idriss Déby Itno, reflected the urgent need for deeper cooperation between Nigeria, Chad and other neighbouring countries.

He stressed that such collective action is critical to curbing the spread of terrorism and violent extremism.

According to the Minister, President Tinubu’s security drive also extended beyond the region, noting that the Nigerian leader has continued to engage international partners, including the European Union, the United Nations, the United States and the United Kingdom, in search of sustainable solutions to Nigeria’s security challenges.

The minister further noted that President Tinubu, though currently observing the Easter break , yet remains actively engaged in matters of governance and national security, describing the holiday as a “working Easter” for the President.

He assured Nigerians that the President remains focused on delivering on the promises made to citizens, particularly, in the areas of security, stability and national development.

On the economy, the Minister said the President is encouraged by positive feedback from international development partners and global financial institutions, which he noted are increasingly acknowledging Nigeria’s reform efforts and renewed direction.

He added that President Tinubu is dedicated to maintaining ongoing reforms and ensuring they yield tangible benefits for all Nigerians.

The Minister further reassured Nigerians that President Tinubu is closely monitoring developments across the country and listening to public concerns. He called on citizens to remain united, reflect deeply on national issues and demonstrate renewed patriotism, especially, as the government intensifies efforts to tackle insecurity.

The Minister of Information and National Orientation also said the President is attentive to the concerns of stakeholders in the media industry.
