I’m dissatisfied with insecurity in Nigeria – Tinubu
President Bola Tinubu has said he is dissatisfied with the security situation in the northeast despite his belief that it has improved.
According to a presidency statement, Tinubu said this during his visit to Shehu of Borno, Alhaji Abubakar Ibn Umar Garbai Al-Amin El-Kanemi.
Tinubu said that, though the military had recorded more victories over defeat “since the new administration has resumed office, we are not satisfied yet.”
“We are not satisfied until we reach the end of insecurity in Nigeria,” the President declared.
“We will provide better amenities and benefits to our gallant armed forces and their families. We are committed to this and this is factored into the 2024 budget.
“We will ensure that our administration reflects the grateful heart of the Nigerian people in the way we treat those who make the ultimate sacrifices on our behalf.”
In his own remarks, Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum, noted increased collaborations with security agents.
“We have seen the close working relationship between our state and the security agencies. The results are speaking for themselves.
“We remain committed to the achievement of the Renewed Hope Agenda in the fight against insecurity anywhere it exists in Nigeria. We thank you for your leadership, Mr. President. We will continue to give all required support to the Nigerian Armed Forces,” Governor Zulum said.
Shehu of Borno, in his own statement, urged President Tinubu to revive the Lake Chad Commission.
The commission would “provide succour to the large communities in the Lake Chad’s surrounding areas.”
He added, “We seek power projects and job creation initiatives for our unemployed youths. Governor Zulum has been performing beyond what is humanly possible but his resources are limited. Please assist him.”
