President Muhammadu Buhari has again reiterated the commitment of his administration to address the nation’s security challenges before he leaves office in 2023.
The President gave the assurance during an interview session televised by the Nigerian Television Authority on Wednesday.
President Buhari expressed optimism that the security challenges facing the country could be resolved in some months.
According to him, the security forces are working hard to address all the nation’s security problems, adding that more equipment and ammunition are being procured by the government to make the battle against criminals much easier across the country.
He said: “Yes, the government is capable and is going to do it because members of the security, the armed forces and others, their own security depends on one Nigeria.
“So, no matter, when people are selfish, it is their self first.
“So, even for their own selves, they better stabilise Nigeria and I believe they will do it.
“I know we’re short on resources.
“For example, dealing with the militants, if people bother to reflect on how we fund the North East and South South and how much progress we have made and acquiring some helicopters, aircraft, their maintenance, their ammunition, armoured cars, you know, to counter effectively, the bandits, they cost money and they cost time for training and adaptation.”
