President Bola Tinubu has said the security architecture will be overhauled to enhance law enforcement capabilities to safeguard lives, property, and investments nationwide.

The president said this at the presentation of the 27.5 trillion naira for the 2024 Budget of Renewed Hope to a joint session of the National Assembly in the temporary chamber of the House of Representatives.

Last week, the two chambers of the National Assembly passed the 2024–2026 Medium Term Expenditure Framework and the Fiscal Strategy Paper (FSP), with a total spending of N26 trillion for the 2024 budget fiscal year and a borrowing plan of N7.8 trillion.

During his first budget presentation before parliament, the President said the proposed budget also prioritizes human capital development, macro-economic stability, poverty reduction, and social security, among others. Shortly after the presentation, the president departed Abuja to participate in the COP28 Climate Summit in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
