President Bola Tinubu has pledged to strengthen the Armed Forces to combat terrorism and banditry during a one-day visit to Bayelsa State on Friday. Speaking after commissioning several infrastructure projects, Tinubu affirmed his administration's resolve to train and equip military personnel to tackle insecurity. He made the declaration in Yenagoa while inaugurating a 60-megawatt Independent Power Plant at Elebele in Ogbia Local Government Area, the 630-metre Angiama-Oporoma Bridge in Southern Ijaw LGA, and the dualised Yenagoa city road linking Airport Road to Sagbama-Ekeremor Road. Tinubu praised Governor Douye Diri for transformative leadership, stating that collaboration between federal and state governments drives development. "We will work hard. We will continue to train our men of the armed forces and we will defeat terrorism and banditry, regardless of their shenanigans," he said. The President described the power plant as vital for industrialisation and promised improved electricity supply. Former President Goodluck Jonathan and his wife, Patience Jonathan, attended the event. Governor Diri said the power plant would ensure reliable electricity, while the completed bridge ended years of neglect in a key oil-producing region. He added that the Yenagoa-Oporoma Road would connect over 60 communities, reduce travel time, and boost local economies.
