The Federal Government of Nigeria has disbursed N5.15 trillion in special intervention funding to the Armed Forces of Nigeria and allied security agencies between November 2023 and September 2026 to combat terrorism, banditry, and mass abductions nationwide.
Official records from the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) presented by the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation show that N5.65 trillion was received into a dedicated military special intervention account, with 91.15 per cent disbursed through 30 distinct transaction cycles.
Financial analysis reveals a dramatic funding increase in 2026, with monthly disbursements jumping from N100 billion to single-tranche releases of up to N500 billion financed through non-oil revenue transfers.
Simultaneously, National Security Adviser (NSA) Nuhu Ribadu inaugurated a high-level committee in Abuja to review the 2019 National Security Strategy and formulate the National Security Strategy 2026.
Represented by Major General Sarkin Bello (retd.), Ribadu explained that evolving asymmetric threats—ranging from armed banditry and cyber warfare to food insecurity and climate challenges—demand an updated, comprehensive defense framework integrated with President Bola Tinubu's Renewed Hope Agenda.
"Our national security landscape is undergoing rapid and profound transformations... We must reflect current realities while anticipating future threats." — Major General Sarkin Bello (retd.), Representing NSA Nuhu Ribadu
