FG determined to end insecurity in South East, says minister
The Minister of Defence, Mohammed Badaru, has said the Federal Government is committed to ending insecurity in the South East.
According to a statement issued on Saturday by the Defence Ministry’s spokesperson, Henshaw Ogbuike, Badaru stated this while addressing military officers during an operational visit to Enugu State.
“There is a renewed determination to intensify our efforts against all forms of insecurity under President Tinubu’s leadership,” Badaru said.
The minister noted that a secure environment is crucial for business growth and peace.
He urged the military personnel to intensify efforts to combat the region’s insecurity.
Badaru added that Tinubu’s commitment to eradicating all forms of insecurity is restricted not only to a region but also nationwide.
The minister said in the last year, significant progress had been made to that effect.
The minister, who visited Imo in continuation of his operational tour of the region, visited Governor Hope Uzodimma and extended his gratitude for his support to the military operations.
“We are determined to end insecurity in Nigeria,” he said.
Badaru said the defence ministry remained committed to fostering a secure and peaceful environment conducive to businesses and community development in the South East.
