President Bola Tinubu has charged the new service chiefs not to leave any stone unturned in the country’s battle against insecurity.
The President gave the directive on Thursday during the decoration of the service chiefs at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, stressing that Nigerians expect results and not excuses.
“I charge you, as the heads of our nation’s armed forces, to carry out your duties with patriotic zeal. Nigerians expect results, not excuses,” he said
He commended the Armed Forces for their efforts in the country’s fight against insecurity which he believes has led to the restoration of peace to many areas previously under siege, rescued countless kidnapped citizens, and significantly diminished the capacity of the terror groups.
The Nigerian leader, however, wants more from the military especially with the constantly evolving security threats across the country.
“Of grave concern to our administration is the recent emergence of new armed groups in the North-Central, North-West, and parts of the South. We must not allow these new threats to fester.
“We must be decisive and proactive. Let us smash the new snakes right in the head. We cannot allow the crisis that began in 2009 to persist any longer,” Tinubu added.
It was earlier reported that the newly confirmed service chiefs have arrived at the Presidential Villa for their official decoration by President Bola Tinubu.
The ceremony is taking place at the Council Chambers of the Villa, with several dignitaries present.
Those in attendance, including members of the National Assembly leadership, governors, ministers, and other top government officials.
