President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Federal Republic of Nigeria

Fellow Nigerians,

We continue to confront our national challenges with courage and conviction. Guided by calm determination, clarity of purpose, and unwavering faith in our country, we remain steadfast in advancing Nigeria’s interests and strengthening our partnerships on the global stage.

Terrorism remains one of the gravest threats to our peace and stability—one our nation has confronted for nearly two decades. Yet, we shall not falter. We will decisively defeat terrorism and secure a lasting peace for all Nigerians. Security is non-negotiable, and under no circumstance will we compromise this sacred obligation. With unity, courage, and a firm commitment to the rule of law, we will prevail.

Nigeria stands as one united family—stronger than our divisions, greater than our fears, and bound by a shared destiny. Together, we rise above despair and choose determination, resilience, and hope. Our unity remains the bedrock of our national strength.

The tasks before us are immense, but our resolve is even greater. We will sustain and expand the reforms that are already restoring stability and growth. Our mission is to build a Nigeria that is prosperous, secure, and inclusive—where every citizen can thrive in peace and dignity.

We will leave no stone unturned and spare no effort in eradicating crime and terrorism from our land. We call upon our allies and partners to stand firmly with us as we intensify this noble fight. In the past two years, we have made measurable progress, and we will continue until every threat to our national peace is defeated.

With courage and fidelity to the rule of law, Nigeria will triumph.

Our nation will remain a reliable partner, a dependable ally, and a consistent voice for peace, stability, and progress across the world. We welcome the continued collaboration and support of our international partners as we strengthen both our security and economic foundations.

To the brave men and women of our Armed Forces and intelligence community—united in purpose and service, irrespective of tribe or faith—who defend our nation with honour and sacrifice, we express our deepest gratitude. Your courage inspires us, your sacrifice fortifies us, and your patriotism defines the spirit of our great nation.

Together, we will secure our homeland, advance our reforms, and fulfill the promise of a greater Nigeria.

God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
