President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has issued a marching order to security agencies to tackle insecurity within the country.
The president gave the directive during a meeting with security chiefs on Wednesday at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
A statement signed by his spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, observed that the president, while ordering a complete overhaul of Nigeria’s security strategy, said enough is enough.
The statement stated that the National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu, while addressing State House Correspondents after the meeting, said Tinubu directed a new approach to tackling insecurity across the country.
“Mr. President gave us the chance to come and brief him again. It lasted very long. We gave him an update on what was going on,” the National Security Adviser noted.
He explained that while the President was on official visits to Paris and London, he remained actively involved and continued to issue instructions to security agencies.
“Today, we had the opportunity to come and brief him again, and it lasted hours. It was a very detailed briefing, and it was exhaustive.
“The issue of insecurity often is not just at the higher levels. It involves the subunits. They are the ones who are directly with the people, especially when some of the challenges border on community problems.
“We need to work with the communities. We need to work with the local governments, and we need to work with the governors.
“The President directed that we work more with governors,” Ribadu added.
