President Bola Tinubu announced that the Nigerian government will provide transparent reporting on its rehabilitation programme for former terrorists, a move aimed at bolstering public confidence in the country’s counter‑terrorism efforts.
The programme, known as Operation Safe Corridor, was launched in 2016 to rehabilitate and reintegrate former Boko Haram members who surrender and are assessed as eligible for the initiative.
Under Operation Safe Corridor, surrendered militants undergo a rigorous assessment process before being enrolled in rehabilitation and reintegration activities designed to help them re-enter society.
By pledging transparent reporting, Tinubu said the government intends to increase accountability and demonstrate the effectiveness of the programme to the Nigerian public.
As Africa’s most populous country, Nigeria has faced a prolonged insurgency by Boko Haram, and Operation Safe Corridor forms a key component of the nation’s broader strategy to counter terrorism and promote long‑term stability.
