President Muhammadu Buhari Thursday in Kano said three priorities of the administration, security, economy, and corruption, have received significant attention, with measurable results, following his vision of making Nigeria more peaceful, prosperous, and reliable, among nations.
According to the President, the Boko Haram insurgency, the Indigenous People of Biafra, Eastern Security Network, and banditry in some parts of the country over time, which posed a potent threat to the country, had been significantly degraded and relative normalcy had returned to most towns and villages.
He said more efforts would go into ensuring that normalcy returns to all the areas suffering banditry.
“I must specially commend the efforts and resilience of members of the Nigeria Police Force and sister agencies for the giant strides recorded so far in the fight against the prevailing security challenges.
We will continue to demonstrate zero tolerance for crime and criminality. Those who take laws into their hands, who bear arms illegally, and who seek to profit from a climate of fear and insecurity will be decisively dealt with.
“That remains our promise to the people of Nigeria, who elected us to keep them safe and secured. The peace and stability of our dear country will continue to be of utmost importance. You, the Police are our points men and you must rise to the occasion, ” the President told the graduating cadets.
President Buhari also noted that security transcends law enforcement to include building the right relationships that underpin the development of secured societies.
