    FG rolls out new counter-terrorism plan

    Published on

    The Federal Government has introduced a revised National Counter-Terrorism Strategy for 2025 aimed at strengthening coordination among security agencies and boosting community involvement in combating terrorism.

    Speaking on Tuesday in Abuja at the final validation workshop for the draft strategy, National Coordinator of the National Counter-Terrorism Centre (NCTC), Major General Adamu Laka (rtd.), said the updated framework reinforces a “whole-of-government” and “whole-of-society” approach to countering threats.

    He explained that the review, which began in February 2025, included consultations with ministries, security agencies, civil society, academia, and international partners to ensure the document reflects national priorities and meets global standards.

    Laka noted that the strategy focuses on prevention as well as response, embedding resilience, inclusivity, and grassroots engagement into Nigeria’s security architecture.

    Director of Policy and Strategy at the NCTC, Commodore Ahmad Madawaki, said the new plan incorporates gender inclusivity, human rights protections, and best practices from global counter-terrorism efforts.

    He stressed that effective implementation will require the active participation of state and local governments, as well as ongoing international cooperation.

    The revised strategy will move to editing and publication following its validation.
