President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday, urged the military and other security agencies to do all in their power to fight against insecurity ravaging the Northeast and other parts of the country.
The President gave this to the Joint Task Force at Maimalari Cantonment parade ground in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital during his official visit.
He said Nigeria “owes a debt of gratitude” to military men and women, and security agencies currently tackling insecurity in the country, especially those who paid the supreme price.
He also assured family members of deceased personnel that his regime will continue to support their loved ones.
Buhari said: “I am delighted to be with you this afternoon, to address you on this special occasion of my official visit to Borno State.
“I want to seize this opportunity to put it on record that our nation will forever be indebted to you, for your patriotic commitment to the defence of our fatherland against insurgency and criminality.
“I, therefore, commend you and remember all the personnel who have paid the supreme sacrifice in ensuring that Nigeria remains an indivisible and secure entity.”
“We should not allow our adversaries or criminal elements to undermine our sovereignty.”
“While I commend you, let me tell you that there is still a lot of work to be done in the North East, West and entire country.”
