…We won’t slow down until Nigeria is completely secure
TUE JUNE 25 2024-theGBJournal| President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has declared that his administration will not rest on its oars until banditry, terrorism and other forms of insecurity are completely eliminated from the country.
President Tinubu said at the moment, the nation is witnessing a turning point, as the strategies being adopted by security forces, including rules of engagement employed are already beginning to yield results.
The President spoke on Monday when he declared open the North West Peace and Security Summit with the theme, “Regional Cooperation for Securing Lives and Livelihoods in North West Nigeria,” organised by the North West Governor’s Forum in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) at Government House, Katsina State.
President Tinubu who was represented at the 2-day event by his deputy, Vice President Kashim Shettima, stated: “What we are witnessing across the North is an explosion of these damaged relationships, and we have come to say: enough is enough. Our first decision was to task our brothers from the North-West and the North-East with the defence and security of the region.
“Who else can better understand the complexity of the crisis of a region than the people themselves? This has been a turning point, and I am proud to share that the strategies we have employed have begun to provide redemption. We are not slowing down until we achieve our aim.”
Delivering the President’s address titled, “Securing Stability: Uniting for Peace in North-West Nigeria,” VP Shettima explained why Northern Nigeria is always considered globally as one unified people, saying the region’s unity is firmly “rooted in a culture and bond of shared interests and common pursuits”.
President Tinubu described the 2-day Summit as a communal gathering.
