Nigeria, Nov. 11 -- Insecurity is among the top concerns for millions of Nigerians ahead of the 2027 elections, and part of President Bola Tinubu's response to address the crisis is to expand Nigeria's security workforce by more than 108,000 personnel if re-elected.

This combines previously announced military and police recruitment targets with a proposed expansion of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).

The commitment is contained in the All Progressives Congress (APC)'s 2027-2031 presidential manifesto, which outlines the party's security priorities for a possible second term under Mr Tinubu.

The proposed expansion comprises 50,000 police officers, 28,000 additional military personnel and 30,150 NSCDC personnel.
