President Muhammadu Buhari has assured Nigerians that his administration is working hard to ensure that the problem of insecurity is tackled in the country.
The president said his government has recorded appreciable results in tackling the menace since he came to office seven years ago.
Buhari disclosed this in his last independence day address to Nigerians.
In the 20 minutes speech, the president said foreigners who invaded the country are the cause of insecurity across the country, saying he, as the commander-in-chief of the Nigerian Armed Forces, is on top of the situation.
Speaking on what his government is doing to address the problem, Buhari said Nigerians are facing “kidnappings, molestations/killings of innocent citizens, banditry, all of which are being addressed by our security forces.”
“I share the pains Nigerians are going through and I assure you that your resilience and patience would not be in vain as this administration continues to reposition as well as strengthen the security agencies to enable them to deal with all forms of security challenges,” the President said.
