Assessing Nigeria’s Security Landscape: General Buratai Takes Centre Stage on TVC News
Former Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai, is set to provide insights into Nigeria’s security situation during a special edition of Beyond the Headlines on TVC News scheduled for Monday, June 1, 2026.
According to a promotional announcement released by the television station, the retired lieutenant general will appear as a guest on the current affairs programme hosted by journalist Nifemi Oguntoye.
The discussion, themed “Nigeria’s Security Crossroads: Assessing the Threats, Finding the Way Forward,” is expected to focus on the nation’s evolving security challenges, ongoing threats to national stability, and possible strategies for strengthening peace and security across the country.
Buratai, who served as Chief of Army Staff between 2015 and 2021, is widely regarded as one of Nigeria’s most experienced military leaders, having played a prominent role in the country’s counter-insurgency operations and security reforms.
Analysts say the programme comes at a critical period as stakeholders continue to debate solutions to insecurity, including terrorism, banditry, kidnapping, communal conflicts, and other emerging threats confronting the nation.
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.
Viewers are expected to gain firsthand perspectives from the former army chief on the state of national security and the measures required to address the challenges facing Africa’s most populous nation.
