“The current government made important inroads when it came into office. The Buhari government met situation in which terrorists had planted their flags and claimed Nigerian territory as their own.
“The Buhari government eliminated these incursions against our national sovereignty, bringing peace to many areas. Thousands of formerly displaced people have returned home to rebuild their lives.
“Our administration will be committed to permanently securing the safety, freedom and prosperity of all Nigerians,” Onanuga quoted Tinubu as saying.
He said Tinubu promised in his Action Plan to further equip the armed forces with more modern hardware and needed technological support, adding that the police would be reformed to fully take responsibility for internal security.
“Police reform will be focused on positioning the institution to better deliver on its primary duties of community policing and maintaining law and order through crime fighting and prevention,” Onanuga further quoted Tinubu as saying.
On the country’s economy, he assured that Tinubu’s administration would focus on massive and unprecedented fourth industrial revolution, helping youths to be transformed from job seekers to job providers .
