The Presidency has described the security partnership between Nigeria and the United States as a crucial step towards ending terrorism, banditry and other security threats across the country.
The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Media and Public Communication, Sunday Dare, stated this on Tuesday during an X Space discussion.
According to Dare, intelligence sharing, security cooperation and joint counter-terrorism efforts between Nigeria and the United States are essential in dismantling insurgent groups and criminal networks operating within the region.
He said the Tinubu administration remains committed to restoring peace nationwide, protecting lives and property, and defending Nigeria’s territorial integrity against both internal and external threats.
Dare noted that the expanding collaboration between the two countries demonstrates a shared commitment to addressing security challenges through coordinated operations, intelligence-led strategies and capacity-building initiatives.
The presidential aide also expressed concern over the growing spread of misinformation and fake news on digital platforms, warning that such content could weaken national security and erode public trust.
He cautioned that the circulation of unverified information could heighten social tensions, trigger unrest and create unnecessary panic among citizens.
“The deliberate spread of false information can create unnecessary panic, provoke disorder and threaten national cohesion. Nigerians must remain vigilant and avoid becoming tools in the dissemination of content capable of destabilising the country,” he said.
