FG RE-STATES COMMITMENT TO IMPROVE PEACE AND SECURITY

The Federal Government has restated its commitment to enhance the nation’s security framework to ensure peace and security of the country.

The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Sen. George Akume, CON, made the disclosure when the Management of the Fellowship of Churches of Christ in Nigeria also known as Tarayyar Ekklesiyoyin Kristi A Nigeria (TEKAN) led by its President, Rev. Joel Stephen Billi in Abuja.

SGF stressed the ongoing efforts of the present administration to reinvigorate the security architecture of the Armed Forces to ensure peace and security in the country.

“There is no way a Government can function effectively, maximally and efficiently without peace. That is why we put emphasis on peace. Since when we took over, you know President Buhari has done a lot too, but there were areas left untouched. So it was the responsibility of the new Tinubu-led administration to move in headlong by increasing firepower of the armed forces to ensure that peace is restored”.

He also highlighted the relative improvement in the security of the country since President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s assumption of office, stating that some Local Governments that were hitherto under the occupation of Boko Haram insurgents have been reclaimed by the Armed Forces.
