President Bola Tinubu, on Monday, told the new service
chiefs, the National Security Adviser, NSA, and the acting Inspector General of
Police, IGP, that they should work as a team and deliver on the mandate given
to them.
This is as the NSA, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, assured the
President and Nigerians that the security agencies will accomplish the
objective of securing the country, establish peace and stability.
President Tinubu held his maiden meeting with the NSA, the
Service Chiefs and the acting IGP on Monday at the Presidential Villa, Abuja,
held behind closed doors.
Briefing state house correspondents at the end of the
meeting, the NSA, Mallam Ribadu, said that the President directed them to work
as a team and deliver on their mandate.
Speaking on the outcome of the meeting, he said, “We’re here
to thank Mr President for the opportunity he gave us to serve our country and
to serve 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, stability and let’s
get our lives back.
“He 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.”
Asked what will be the starting point of the new security
heads, Mallam said, “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
are going down, 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 we have and they are not going to fail you, they’ll certainly
deliver.”
