President Muhammadu Buhari has appealed to Nigerians to exercise more patience in his administration’s fight against insecurity.
The President made this known in a statement released on Monday August 10, where he disclosed that they are investing heavily in acquiring modern equipment.
He added that when the equipment arrive, security operatives will undergo training ahead of deployment to the field.
The statement read;
We are working very hard to ensure the security situation in every part of Nigeria improves very soon. As part of our efforts, we are investing heavily in acquiring modern equipment. Some have arrived, some are being cleared at the Ports, and we have others still on their way.
Our government is doing its best on the question of equipment, and the military know. We understand the importance of properly equipping our personnel, so that they can deliver their best.
I ask for some patience with the acquisition of equipment, especially with the impact of Covid-19 on global supply chains. And then when the equipment arrive, we need to train personnel for their usage, ahead of deployment to the field.
I want all Nigerians to rest assured that we are doing our very best in this regard. You will see substantial improvements very soon. Security of the lives & property of all Nigerian people will continue to be a priority for us.
