The federal government says it is working to end the
nation’s security challenges by December.
Rauf Aregbesola, minister of interior, said this on Monday
at a joint security press conference in Abuja.
The minister said security agencies are working to
“eliminate” those causing violent attacks in the country with December as the
deadline.
“Nigerians have the assurance of all of us that their
security is guaranteed. So, we’re here to assure you that you’re safe; that is
why we’re here on the instructions of the president that you’re safe and that
each day going to December, our safety and security will be better,” he said.
“What we face mostly
now are clashes of cowardly attacks from those that have been routed in one
locality or the other moving to give a false impression that they’re still
strong.
“Our ultimate goal is to eliminate them altogether and
restore total peace in every inch of the Nigerian soil; that we’re going to do
by God’s grace, by December of this year.
“It is sounding tall, but take it home, we’re determined to
ensure that every inch of the Nigerian soil is safe. The determination is there
and the order has been given.”
Aregbesola added that the federal government “will not rest”
till peace is restored to all parts of the country.
“But we shall continue to protect the lives and property of
Nigerians and foreigners in our midst. We shall continue to work for the peace
of the nation and deter elements that constitute threats to the people,” he
said.
“We shall bear the full powers of the government to secure
every inch of our land. We shall not rest until peace is fully restored in
Nigeria.”
