New Army formations will strengthen security response — Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu has announced the establishment of new Army formations in Zamfara, Kebbi, Oyo, and Osun states, which will enhance the military's capacity to respond to security threats. In a statement on Sunday, Tinubu disclosed that these new formations will position troops closer to vulnerable communities in these regions, enabling more rapid and decisive actions when confronted with threats.

Additionally, the Federal Government is prioritizing the construction of new military barracks and depots in Abuja, Ekiti, Ebonyi, and Kogi states, with facilities in Osun already completed. These measures are intended to better support military personnel and their families as the government expects more from the Armed Forces. Tinubu emphasized that the recent pay increase for Armed Forces personnel is positively impacting the lives of servicemen and women and their families.

The President acknowledged the sacrifices made by military families, stating that every deployment is a sacrifice made by a family too. As Commander-in-Chief, Tinubu is committed to providing the resources and support necessary for the Armed Forces to fulfill their duties effectively.
