President Bola Tinubu says the nation’s security chiefs must
ensure that all security threats to the country
are eliminated.
According to a statement issued by Ajuri Ngelale, special
adviser to the president on media and publicity, the president spoke on Friday
during a security briefing at the State House, Abuja.
Tinubu noted that the security agencies have achieved
progress in eradicating security threats in the country.
He added that their efforts would be undermined if there is no final victory.
“We have too many investments that we need to make now in
soft and physical infrastructure, in social security, in MSME empowerment, and
other growth enablers,” the statement reads.
“We are pursuing a $1 trillion economy in the next few
years, and our efforts will be undermined if we do not finally wrap up our
progressive onslaught against enemies of progress.”
Tinubu urged the security chiefs to keep up the fight,
saying they have won the trust of Nigerians who are appreciative of their
sacrifices.
“The success you are
recording is undeniable. Nigerians are seeing it, but the avoidable errors, as
witnessed recently in Kaduna, are unacceptable and cannot be repeated,” he
added.
“I am pleased that coordination between all agencies has
dramatically improved over recent months, but there is no room for celebrations
until we can end this; until we can bring our troops back to their own
localities, and until we can free up resources for our critical economic
expansion programme.”
The president also tasked the armed forces to deliver on his
objective to ensure the nation achieves a production of two million barrels of
crude oil per day, including condensates, within the first quarter of 2024.
“I do not play with my intelligence reports. I have multiple
lines of sight. The Navy and sister branches must step up their game to achieve
our aims for the benefit of all Nigerians,” he said.
“All malign actors
will be aggressively uprooted from our midst. Those working against the
national agenda from within and without will meet justice. Your task is clear.
We will sustain our momentum. Failure is not an option under my leadership.”
