The Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) has welcomed President Bola Tinubu’s creation of four new Army divisions across the country.

This commendation is contained in a statement signed by the Chairman of the Forum and Governor of Kwara State, Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq.

According to the statement, the simultaneous creation of four new divisions is the largest single expansion of the Nigerian Army in modern history, adding that the bold step showed the President’s renewed commitment to the security of lives and property.

“We wholeheartedly welcome this development, including the President’s approval for the Army to hire 28,000 new personnel and acquire more critical military assets. We are confident that this initiative will enhance the government’s counterterrorism and anti-banditry efforts,” the statement added.

The Forum pledged its continued support for and collaboration with the President on national security and all other issues of national development.
