President Bola Tinubu’s administration is poised to reveal the identities of those financing terrorism in Nigeria, according to Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser to the President on Policy Communication.

Speaking on Television Continental (TVC) on Sunday, monitored by Persecondnews, Bwala stated that the government is implementing “far-reaching decisions” on national security that will soon become apparent to the public.

He emphasized that the evolution of terrorism into a cross-border threat necessitates increased international collaboration for its containment.

The presidential aide said global powers are recognizing the critical need to support nations like Nigeria, where extremist groups are attempting to expand their operational reach.

“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 said.

“This is why international partners must continue to cooperate with Nigeria in our efforts to dismantle terrorist networks.”

Bwala said extremist activities that once dominated parts of the Middle East have gradually shifted toward the Sahel region, creating new hubs of insecurity that demand stronger regional and global coordination.

According to him, the Tinubu administration is intensifying efforts to combat the threat at home and will soon expose those financing and enabling terror activities across the country.

“At home, the government is making decisive interventions. In the coming days, Nigerians will know who the terrorists are and those funding them,” Bwala said.
