No responsive administration, according to President Muhammadu Buhari, can overlook the role of religious and traditional rulers in combating insecurity in the country, IgbereTV reports
The President said his administration would continue to rely on the crucial wisdom and assistance of members of the venerated institutions to improve the country’s present security difficulties while speaking at an Iftar dinner with religious and traditional rulers on Thursday in Abuja.
Moving Nigeria ahead, he said, was a communal responsibility, and he called on leaders at all levels to make meaningful contributions to making the country a better place.
”Today, insecurity is one of the greatest challenges facing Nigeria’s existence. This administration has invested more resources than any other to tackle insecurity.
”We have acquired advanced equipment for our armed forces and the police to strengthen their capacity to confront terrorism and banditry. We have made adequate budgetary allocations for security.
”Whatever the security agencies request I make it available to them immediately.
