Nigerian Defence Ministry Vows to Crush Banditry and Restore Stability

The Nigerian Defence Ministry, led by President's directive, aims to tackle banditry and restore stability by establishing a responsive security design capable of dismantling criminal networks. The summit in Kaduna discussed joint military operations in several states to restore security, including reopening volatile road corridors.

Criticism was raised by a professor on the current security strategy, emphasizing the need for a unified regional defense strategy to combat armed groups and ensure long-term security. A larger national security summit is scheduled in Abuja to develop a harmonized security improvement plan.
