Buratai, who served as Chief of Army Staff from 2015 to 2021, is widely regarded as one of Nigeria’s most experienced military leaders. During Buratai’s tenure, he played a prominent role in the nation’s counter-insurgency campaign and broader efforts aimed at reforming and strengthening the country’s security architecture.
The former army chief is expected to draw from his extensive military experience to offer perspectives on the security challenges facing Nigeria and the measures that could help address them.
Analysts say the programme comes at a critical time as concerns over insecurity continue to dominate national discourse. Stakeholders across various sectors have continued to advocate fresh approaches to tackling terrorism, banditry, kidnapping, communal clashes, and other emerging threats affecting communities across the country.
The discussion is also expected to examine the progress made in the fight against insecurity, as well as the obstacles that continue to hamper efforts to achieve lasting peace and stability.
The live broadcast is scheduled for 6 p.m. and will be aired on TVC News across multiple platforms, including DStv, GOtv, StarTimes, FreeTV, and the station’s digital channels, allowing viewers within and outside Nigeria to participate in the conversation.
Viewers are expected to gain firsthand insights from Buratai on the current state of national security, the lessons learned from previous security operations, and the strategies required to effectively confront the challenges facing Africa’s most populous nation.
The programme is expected to attract significant attention from policymakers, security experts, members of the armed forces, and Nigerians interested in the future of the country’s security and stability.
