President Bola Tinubu on Friday met with leaders of the Christian Association of Nigeria in Lagos, where he reassured them that new security measures introduced by his administration will soon bring visible results across the country.
The meeting took place at the president’s residence and was attended by CAN President, Archbishop Daniel Okoh, alongside senior Christian leaders drawn from different blocs within the association.
Tinubu said his government is reworking Nigeria’s security structure to deal with banditry, terrorism, and kidnappings, noting that plans for state and community policing are already underway and only awaiting legislative action by the National Assembly.
He explained that delays in acquiring military equipment, including attack helicopters ordered from the United States and support sought from Turkey, have slowed public confidence but insisted that the government remains focused on restoring peace, especially in ungoverned areas.
The president urged Christian leaders to remain vigilant and work closely with the government, stressing that security is a shared responsibility and that cooperation from faith groups is crucial in changing the nation’s security situation.
In response, Archbishop Okoh pledged the church’s support for the administration, praised ongoing engagement with religious bodies, and appealed for direct collaboration through CAN structures nationwide, as well as the release of funds for the Christian Pilgrims Board.
