Nigeria Approves Major Military Expansion Amid Rising Armed Group Threat

Nigerian President Bola Tinubu has approved the country's largest military expansion in recent times. The decision comes as the government faces intense pressure to address a growing number of armed groups operating across the country. These groups have been responsible for repeated attacks on civilians, fueling public and political demand for stronger security measures. The military expansion is seen as a direct response to the escalating security crisis threatening stability in Nigeria.
