President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday said his administration
was fully determined to combat and defeat terrorism, banditry and all forms of
criminality in Nigeria.
Buhari made the declaration while urging Nigerians to
support and cooperate with security agencies, who are ready to defend and
preserve the unity of the country.
Speaking at a meeting with the Executive Committee members
of the Nigerian Community in Ethiopia (NICE), in Addis Ababa, the President
assured Nigerians, at home and abroad that their protection would continue to
remain a key priority of his administration, as well as fighting corruption and
bringing prosperity to Nigerians.
On economic matters and doing business in Ethiopia, the
Nigerian leader said he had been briefed on the challenges faced by some
Nigerian companies with investments in the country, especially the Dangote
Group and Lubcon.
A statement signed and sent by his
spokesperson, Garba Shehu quoted Buhari as saying: ”I have directed the
relevant ministries to take up these issues with a view to resolving all
complaints amicably with the Ethiopian authorities.”
Commenting on the issue of diaspora voting, Buhari while
responding to a request by the leader of NICE, David Omozuafoh, said he was in
support of it, but legislation was required to make it a reality.
”I have said it severally that I am not against it. However,
you will need to convince the National Assembly to amend the relevant laws to
make Diaspora voting a reality,” he said.
President Buhari’s assurance on security is coming just a
few days after Boko Haram attacked Auno near Maiduguri in Borno State.
The latest attack by Boko Haram terrorist sect had left
about 30 people dead.
