In his 2027 manifesto, President‑elect Bola Tinubu has outlined a plan to recruit more than 100,000 security personnel across the country.
The proposal builds on earlier announcements that called for new military and police recruits, and it also proposes a significant expansion of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).
Under the plan, the NSCDC would be enlarged to enhance the country’s civil defence capabilities, a move that follows the organisation’s role in responding to recent security challenges.
While the manifesto does not detail the exact distribution of the new recruits, the combined effort aims to strengthen Nigeria’s overall security framework.
As Africa’s most populous country, Nigeria faces complex security demands that the expanded forces are expected to address.
