President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has reassured Nigerians of his administration’s determination to rid the country of terrorism and protect life and property.
He said the welfare of security agents would not be compromised as they intensify the fight against banditry and all forms of violence.
The President said the “evolving security challenges that daily confront us” can only be tackled through a collective effort.
He urged security agents to remain courageous and patriotic.
President Tinubu spoke during the 2025 Regimental Dinner Night as part of events marking the Armed Forces Remembrance Day in Abuja.
He said: “It is with great honour and deep appreciation that I stand before you tonight as the Special Guest of Honour of this remarkable gathering, the Armed Forces Celebration and Remembrance Day dinner and Award Night for Officers.
“This gathering emphasises, not only our shared dedication to security and unity of our great nation, but also countless sacrifices made by our men and women who have served as well.
“The Armed Forces of Nigeria is more than just a military establishment; they represent the cornerstone of national security, the embodiment of the collective result of hope, peace, and integrity of our dear nation.
“The dedication, and professionalism exhibited by our service men and women should be a source of pride and inspiration to all Nigerians. So, as we celebrate, let us also look into the future.
“The challenges we face not only demand courage and strength, but innovation and adaptability, but we must continue to invest in the capabilities of our military, equipping them with the resources and support necessary to effectively address the evolving security challenges that daily confront us.
“The road ahead will not always be easy but together we can overcome any challenge.
“Let me assure you that we will continue to prioritise the welfare and well-being of our Armed Forces personnel.
