Tinubu urged the new leaders to “deepen professionalism, vigilance, and unity” within the military.
However, leadership change alone cannot solve Nigeria’s security crisis. The country must also modernise its defence system — through investment in technology, equipment, training, and personnel welfare.
As analysts have noted, “You can’t fight 21st-century insecurity with 20th-century tools.”
Real progress will come only when leadership renewal is matched with reform, innovation, and motivation at every level of the security structure.
