Insecurity: Akpabio Unveils Nigeria’s Five-Year Counter-Terrorism Plan
On Monday, Nigeria’s Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, officially unveiled the nation’s new strategic framework for tackling terrorism, a five-year plan set to run from 2025 to 2030.
The security blueprint, titled the Nigeria Counter-Terrorism Strategic Plan, was formulated by the National Counter-Terrorism Centre under the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA).
Speaking during the launch in Abuja, Akpabio emphasized that the plan demonstrates Nigeria’s dedication to ensuring that citizens can live safely and that future generations enjoy peace.
He stated, “This is a moment for Nigeria to reaffirm that our people deserve a life free of fear, that our children deserve a peaceful future, and that our nation must be secured to prosper.”
Akpabio explained that the strategy provides a structured approach to transforming Nigeria’s security institutions, modernizing systems, and bolstering national resilience.
He added, “The key question is: how do we secure our nation, protect our citizens, and set Nigeria on an irreversible path to peace, growth, and stability? The Strategic Plan 2025–2030 answers this with vision, discipline, and ambition. It lays out a framework for institutional transformation, modernization of security architecture, strengthening resilience, and expanding collaboration across government, industry, civil society, and the international community.”
