President Muhammadu Buhari has stated that the security of the lives and property of every Nigerian is the priority of his administration and his government is doing everything in this regard.
He said this in a press statement made available to the press revealing that his government is doing its best in the question of equipment that the military is aware of.
Buhari advised Nigerians to be patient as his government is doing its best in procuring military equipment but stalled by the global COVID-19 pandemic.
He wrote, “We are working very hard to ensure the security situation in every part of Nigeria improves very soon. As part of our efforts, we are investing heavily in acquiring modern equipment. Some have arrived, some are being cleared at the Ports, and we have others still on their way.
Our government is doing its best on the question of equipment, and the military know. We understand the importance of properly equipping our personnel so that they can deliver their best.”
“I ask for some patience with the acquisition of equipment, especially with the impact of Covid-19 on global supply chains. And then when the equipment arrives, we need to train personnel for their usage, ahead of deployment to the field.
I want all Nigerians to rest assured that we are doing our very best in this regard. You will see substantial improvements very soon. The security of the lives and property of all Nigerian people will continue to be a priority for us.”
Recall that there has been killing of citizens by bandits in Southern Kaduna, Katsina State, and other parts of the country with many people protesting the unjust killings.
