President Bola Tinubu has ordered the Service Chiefs to work in synergy to ensure that security, peace and stability are fully returned in the country.
The President gave the charge when he met with Security Chiefs, led by the National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Addressing the State House Correspondents after their maiden meeting, the NSA, Nuhu Ribadu, disclosed that the President is fully committed to restoring peace and stability in every part of the country.
“We’re here to thank Mr. President for the opportunity he gave us to serve our country and to serve in his own government. We also pledged our loyalty to him, Nigeria, and Nigerians. We believe the choice he made is the right one, the correct one, and we know what he wants for this country. We’re going to work tirelessly to ensure that we accomplish that objective of securing our country, establishing peace and stability, and let’s get our lives back.
“He (the President) gave us the assurance that he’s with us hundred percent. He told us that we must work as a team and that there’s work to be done. He’ll expect us to deliver, and we’re grateful for the opportunity. That’s why we are here.”
Speaking further, the NSA said that their task to rid the country of all crimes and criminals have kick started already.
“Where we are today and you can see, already things are improving in our country. If you see the record of crimes and activities of criminals, they are going down, and it will continue to go down.
“We’ll secure this place. Nigerians have seen the quality of the people that are given opportunity. They are probably some of the best that we have, and they are not going to fail you. They’ll certainly deliver.” He said.
Present at the meeting were the Chief of Defence Staff, Major General Christopher Musa; Chief of Army Staff, Major General Taoreed Lagbaja; Chief of Naval Staff, Rear Admiral Emmanuel Ogalla; Chief of Air Staff, Air Vice Marshal Hassan Abubakar and the Acting Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun and Chief of Defense Intelligence, Major General Emmanuel Undiandeye.
