President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday restated his resolve to address the insecurity crisis rocking the country.
He expressed his readiness to make changes in security personnel and architecture should the need arise.
The President explained that he would not want his administration to be defined by the spate of insecurity, saying he would not leave the country in security crisis at the end of his tenure in 2023.
The President spoke at the National Security Council (NSC) meeting at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
National Security Adviser (NSA) Maj.-Gen. Babagana Monguno (rtd) made known the President’s comment at a briefing after the meeting.
He added, however, that the President was happy with the progress made between the last NSC meeting in June and Thursday’s.
Gen. Munguno said: “So, the president was briefed, the president is quite happy that there’s been tremendous success, especially with the advent of the new service chiefs and Inspector General of Police.
“And he’s also made it very, very clear that he’s not ready to exit government as a failure. He is not going to tolerate that. He has made changes and he is ready to make further changes if he is not satisfied. He is completely determined to ensure that there’s a turnaround in the fortunes in the theatre of operations.”
