President Bola Tinubu has commended the Guards Brigade of the Nigerian Army for strengthening security around the Presidential Villa and improving safety across the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) throughout 2025.

Tinubu, represented by the Minister of Defence, Christopher Musa, gave the commendation on Saturday in Abuja at the Guards Brigade 2025 West African Social Activities (WASA).

The President said the brigade’s sustained clearance operations and efforts to restore peace in adjoining communities have contributed significantly to the improved security currently enjoyed in the FCT and its environs.

He described WASA as more than a cultural showcase, noting that it provides an opportunity to celebrate the resilience, cohesion, and dedication displayed by officers and soldiers of the brigade throughout the year.

According to him, culture remains a vital anchor of national identity, reminding Nigerians of their history, struggles, and achievements while preparing them for the future. (NAN)
