Nigerian President
Muhammadu Buhari on
Wednesday vowed to
sustain the tempo in the
ongoing campaigns against
contemporary threats across
the country.
Speaking at the inauguration
of the Nigerian Army
Resource Center in Abuja,
the Nigerian leader
reaffirmed his support to the
Armed Forces of Nigeria in
ending the myriad of security
challenges plaguing the
nation, including terrorism
and militancy.
The president who was
represented by the Minister
of Defense, Brig.-Gen.
Mansur Dan-Ali, commended
the efforts of the Nigerian
armed forces in containing
the security challenges,
restating that security
remained top on his
administration's agenda.
"I want to emphatically state
that one of the top priorities
of this administration is the
enhancement of the Armed
Forces to discharge their
duties," he added.
"We will continue to provide
the much needed support to
the Armed Forces of Nigeria
to deliver efficient services
and to effectively discharge
their duties," he said.
"I also appreciate the
successes of the Armed
Forces of Nigeria in the
counter-insurgency
operation in the North East
and urge you to sustain the
tempo," the Nigerian leader
told his audience.
Buhari said the activities of
the security agencies in the
country would be further
enhanced to actualize the
objective of the present
administration in making
Nigeria a safe haven for
investment.
Earlier, the Chief of Army
Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai
said the vision behind the
establishment of the
resource center was
anchored on the need to
optimize the capability of the
Army.
He told his audience that
contemporary security
challenges in the country and
around its borders had
stretched the Armed Forces
close to its limits.
Buratai said the need to
optimize the capability of the
Army to meet emerging
security challenges could not
be over emphasized.
He assured citizens of the
Army's readiness in
conjunction with sister
agencies to rid the country
of criminal elements
operating in the guise of
militants, terrorists and
others. Enditem
