Three Years. One Question: Has Nigeria Become Safer? As Nigeria marks Democracy Day, we examined the data behind security under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, from security spending and counter-terrorism operations to military and civilian casualties, including the impact on children. Beyond the headlines, what does the evidence reveal? Our analysis tracks three years of security funding, conflict trends, and outcomes to assess what the numbers say about safety and security in Nigeria. #DemocracyDay #TinubuAt3 #Security @DHQNigeria @CDDWestAfrica @ISSAfrica
