The Federal Government is preparing for a significant security announcement as officials finalize steps that could expose the individuals and networks allegedly responsible for sponsoring terrorism in Nigeria.
This development follows confirmation from President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Policy and Communications, Daniel Bwala, who revealed that the administration is concluding internal processes ahead of the public disclosure.
Speaking during an interview on TVC on Sunday, Bwala said the government has taken firm, far-reaching security decisions and Nigerians will begin to see clear outcomes soon.
According to him, the fight against terrorism in Nigeria has entered a more strategic phase—one requiring transparency, intelligence-sharing, and coordinated cooperation at local, regional, and global levels.
Bwala stressed that terrorism can no longer be treated as a domestic issue, noting that extremist groups now operate through sophisticated cross-border alliances. This, he said, makes collaboration with international partners unavoidable.
He added that global powers are paying increasing attention to Nigeria and the West African region, where insurgent networks have been attempting to expand their influence.
Referring to global shifts after the September 11 attacks, Bwala said:
“Since the events of 9/11, terrorism has been treated as a global security issue. Any nation where terrorists operate becomes a concern to the rest of the world.”
He urged Nigeria’s international allies to strengthen their cooperation, particularly in cutting off financial channels and dismantling organised cells that provide logistical support to militants.
Bwala explained that activities once concentrated in the Middle East have gradually shifted to the Sahel, creating new pockets of insecurity and placing additional pressure on West African governments to share intelligence and act collectively.
He revealed that the Tinubu administration has been quietly intensifying efforts to disrupt internal networks enabling violence and insecurity.
“At home, the government is making decisive interventions. In the coming days, Nigerians will know who the terrorists are and those funding them,” he assured.
While no official date has been given for the public announcement, government insiders suggest that the disclosure will form part of a broader security review currently underway.
