President Muhammadu Buhari may have finally heeded to the clamour of the majority of Nigerians for improvement in the nation’s security infrastructure as he has today(Tuesday) ordered the immediate rejig of operational strategies of the nation’s security network to effectively counter the security situation across the country.
The National Security Adviser (NSA), Major General Babagana Monguno (Rtd.), disclosed this to State House Correspondents today after the National Security Council meeting held at the State House.
He also revealed that the administration was working on a solution to the security crisis in some parts of the country, saying that the Minister of Defense, Major General Bashir Salihi Magashi (Rtd), was “working on something” to give effect to President Buhari’s earlier marching orders to service chiefs.
The NSA also disclosed that the council noted that proliferation of drugs is driving insecurity in the country.
Monguno said the manner of killings of their victims can only mean one thing and that is, the bandits, kidnappers and terrorists are out of their minds.
This step of Mr President may be a right decision at the right time as it may have forestalled the planned protest march of an NGO tomorrow.
The non governmental organisation(NGO), The Coalition for Revolution has called on the people in the country to take to the streets in different cities of the nation tomorrow(Wednesday), to demand better governance from the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.
