President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday painted a grim picture of Nigeria's security situation, admitting that terrorism and banditry were giving him and many Nigerians sleepless nights, even as he expressed confidence that the country would overcome the threats.

Tinubu spoke while declaring open the Second National Economic Council (NEC) Conference at the State House Conference Centre, Abuja where he assured Nigerians of renewed efforts to strengthen the nation's security architecture.
