The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, has announced that the federal government is preparing to unveil the identities of individuals and networks responsible for financing t%rrorism in Nigeria.
Speaking during an interview on Television Continental (TVC) on Sunday, Bwala said the administration is taking “far-reaching decisions” on national security, which will soon become clear to citizens. He explained that t%rrorism has transformed into a global thr+at that surpasses national boundaries, making international cooperation essential in combating its growth.
According to him, world powers are increasingly acknowledging the need to assist countries like Nigeria, where extremist groups have been attempting to widen their influence. “Since the events of 9/11, t%rrorism has been treated as a global security issue. Any nation where t%rrorists operate becomes a concern to the rest of the world,” he said.
“This is why international partners must continue to cooperate with Nigeria in our efforts to dismantle t%rrorist networks,” he added. Bwala noted that extremist operations that once concentrated in parts of the Middle East have gradually shifted toward the Sahel region, creating new centres of instability that require stronger regional and global collaboration.
He said the Tinubu administration is stepping up measures to address the thr+at domestically and will soon expose those responsible for funding and enabling t%rror groups across the country. “At home, the government is making decisive interventions. In the coming days, Nigerians will know who the t%rrorists are and those funding them,” Bwala stated.
