We’re working hard to end insecurity soon – Buhari
By BASHIR ADEFAKA
President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, says his administration is working very hard to improve security situation in the country soon.
He said this through a post on his official Facebook page Monday night.
He said, “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 arrive, 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. Security of the lives and property of all Nigerian people will continue to be a priority for us,” President Buhari said.
It is, however, not clear wether or not equipment received or being awaited include the 12 Tucano war planes the President paid United States of America for since late 2018 and payment receipt confirmed by Donald Trump administration with a promise to deliver in 2020.
