President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday met with service chiefs over reports of insecurity across the country.
In attendance are the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo; Secretary to the Government of the Federation-Boss Mustapha; Chief of Staff to the President, Professor Ibrahim Gambari, and Defense Minister, Major-General Bashir Magashi (Rtd); and National Security Adviser, Major-General Babagana Monguno (Rtd).
Others present are the Chief of Defence Staff, General Lucky Irabor, Chief of Army Staff; Lieutenant-General Ibrahim Attahiru, Chief of Naval Staff; Vice Admiral Awwal Zubairu, and Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Ishiaka Oladayo Amoo.
The acting Inspector-General of Police, IGP, Usman Alkali is also in attendance.
The meeting is coming at a time when the insecurity in the country has been on the increase.
President Buhari’s administration has in the last few weeks been the target of attacks by citizens, who blame him for not doing enough to protect Nigerians.
In a statement on Thursday night, Buhari promised to keep security, police and the armed forces on their toes to be on top of their act in troubled parts of the country.
But he also said the security will be more improved in the states, with everyone working together “because that is the foundation on which progress and prosperity can be achieved.”
