My people, una go hear wetin dey happen for this obodo Naija matter! The Federal Government don drop over N13 billion for budget wey go help security agencies buy arms, ammunition, and all the necessary kpakpakpa wey dem need for 2026.
No be small money o! Dem don allocate N13,124,747,575 across different security bodies to boost their equipment. E fit make you wan wonder wetin dem go do with all this money, abi? Anyhow, as we dey see am, the fight against crime no fit stop dey shine for light!
According to the budget paper wey don leak, the Ministry of Defence go collect N688.8 million to chop arms and ammunition for our Armed Forces. No dulling, Defence Headquarters go see N1.46 billion as well to secure similar items. But wait, hear dis: the Nigerian Air Force dey ready to flex! Dem go chop N6.13 billion for aircraft platforms, arms, and ammunition. Na dem carry the largest share for this budget level.
Dem no just finish dere o! The Air Force sef dey plan to drop N1.79 billion to buy 2,000 AR-M5T assault rifles. Wetin you dey talk? Na serious matter. Meanwhile, di Nigerian Immigration Service go collect N702.7 million for arms, ammunition, and protective equipment. Even our police dey waka come with N1.03 billion for their own armament and protective gear. Na so security agencies dey prepare for wahala as e dey come!
The DSS too dey get N1 billion for arms and ammunition. Dem no gree carry last. If you think dem dey play, check out di National Park Headquarters wey go buy 100 firearms with N68.8 million. Dem dey serious for their own matter as well! Na fight for our environment wey dem dey carry out.
We still get Nigerian Defence Academy, wey dey ready to use N253.5 million to buy automatic rifles for cadets wey dey train. Abeg, no be joke. Dis allocations dey come as Nigeria don dey witness serious drop for arms spending last year. In 2025, e japa to N49 billion from N520 billion wey dem get for 2024. Na wetin dem call “see finish” for arms matter.
The figures wey dey come this report, na from National Bureau of Statistics, Nigeria Customs Service, and all di big boys wey dey handle oil and gas too. E be like say unless dem approve more procurements, our arms buying fit reduce again for 2026, even with all di wahala wey dey face we across di country.
As population dey rise, so dey increase di security challenge. Before una know, we fit dey see dem push the whole N13 billion for security funds to work abeg. Make we just dey watch as dis story dey unfold!
