Nigeria TV Info — Tinubu Urges Armed Forces to Confront Terrorists with Renewed Vigour

Amid Nigeria’s mounting security challenges, President Bola Tinubu has charged the Nigerian Armed Forces to confront insurgents and terrorists with renewed determination.

Tinubu warned that the ultimate aim of terrorists is to derail his administration’s reforms and plunge the nation into economic instability.

Represented by Senate President Godswill Akpabio, the President gave the charge on Saturday at the combined passing-out parade of the 72 Regular Course – Army, Navy, and Air Force – Short Service Course and Branch Commission Course of the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA), Kaduna.

This was contained in a statement issued in Abuja by Akpabio’s Special Assistant on Media, Jackson Udom.

“I will seize this opportunity to draw your attention to the ills of insurgency and other security challenges to our nation. You must remember that the goal of the insurgents and terrorists is to counteract our developmental reforms by creating counter-states.

“Yours is to safeguard the economic and core values of the nation to prevent the collapse of the economy and revitalise the Armed Forces, despite the enemies’ indiscriminate violence and baseless propaganda to orchestrate their threats against the state.

“You must never at any time lose sight of the vision of the founding fathers of our dear nation, irrespective of the multiple complex security challenges facing our nation,” Tinubu declared.
