Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has said
insecurity is the major challenge faced by the Federal Government in 2021.
He said this on Thursday during a press conference to
showcase the achievements of the president, Muhammadu Buhari’s regime during
the outgoing year 2021.
According to him, despite the long list of achievements by
Buhari’s regime, insecurity was a major challenge.
He, however, explained that the Armed Forces of Nigeria recorded some successes using a combination of kinetic and non-kinetic operations, coupled with a review of strategies.
This, he said, led to the neutralisation of over 1,000
terrorists, the rescue of 2,000 civilians and the surrender of over 22,000
terrorists including their families in the North-East.
He noted that many arms and ammunition were also recovered,
adding that several bomb-making factories of the terrorists were destructed.
He said, “Let me admit straight away that the year has not
been devoid of challenges. For the outgoing year, in particular, the major
challenge has been that of insecurity. In spite of this and the usual economic
challenges, especially the dwindling resources available to the government, the
Administration has availed itself creditably, as we will be demonstrating
shortly.
“As I said in my introductory remarks, our biggest challenge
in the outgoing year is in the area of security. Despite the enormity of the
challenge, our military has continued to live up to their billing.
“We owe them a debt of gratitude for their patriotism and
sacrifice. We just can’t appreciate them enough, as you will soon see when I
break down their achievements in the year under review.”
