The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris has declared that incidents of large-scale insurgent control have significantly decreased across the country.
The Minister made this known on Wednesday at the 81st General Assembly and 23rd Annual General Meeting of the Broadcasting Organisations of Nigeria (BON), held at the Hawthorn Hotel and Suites, Abuja.
Speaking, Idris refuted claims that Nigeria is on the brink of collapse, stating that the country remains stable, resilient, and on a clear path to recovery and growth.
“I want to unequivocally refute the insinuation that Nigeria is on the brink. On the contrary, we are daily exhibiting resilience and tackling our security and economic challenges more decisively,” the Minister said.
On security, Idris assured Nigerians that the Federal Government is making steady progress through sustained military operations and improved intelligence coordination.
He cited recent successful operations in Zamfara and Niger States where security forces neutralised bandits and disrupted planned attacks within a short period.
“Coordinated operations by the Armed Forces and other security agencies have led to sustained gains in several parts of the country. Incidents of large-scale insurgent control have significantly decreased, and we are strengthening intelligence and rapid response systems to protect lives and property,” he stated.
