The Nigeria Governors’ Forum has said the creation of four new divisions of the Nigerian Army by President Bola Tinubu will enhance the country’s counterterrorism and anti-banditry efforts.
The NGF Chairman and Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, stated this in a statement personally signed by him on Friday.
While commending Tinubu for approving the creation of the new divisions across the country, the forum described the development as the largest single expansion of the Nigerian Army in modern history.
It added that the initiative demonstrated the President’s renewed commitment to protecting lives and property.
The forum also welcomed the President’s approval for the recruitment of 28,000 additional personnel into the Nigerian Army and the acquisition of more critical military assets.
