President Bola Tinubu has charged the Nigerian Army to ensure that violent groups do not overwhelm peaceful and law abiding Nigerians.

The President equally told the Armed Forces to that Nigerians must be safe in their homes and public places.

Tinubu stated this on Saturday at grand finale of the Nigerian Army Celebration held at the 3 Division of the Nigerian Army, Rukuba, Bassa LGA of Plateau State.

He said, “The Nigerian Army remains one of the most patriotic and selfless elements of our nation. It embodies people who have volunteered, sacrificed, fought and died so that the nation would live in peace. What can be more patriotic than to lay down one’s life for the sake of the nation?

“The Nigerian Army has made and continues to make huge sacrifices to keep us safe.

“Security challenges increased in the last decade and half, the Nigerian Army has risen to the challenge to keep Nigeria safe.”

The President, who was represented by the Minister of Defence, Mohammed Badaru Abubakar, added, “l am aware that you are now deployed in all states of the Federation making sacrifices daily in a bid to secure Nigeria.

“To paraphrase Winston Churchill, never in the history of Nigeria, has so many owed so much to so few.

“As your Commander-In-Chief, my administration is committed to building a well equipped, and truly professional army that will remain the pride of the nation.

"We are committed to providing you with all that you need to enable you fulfil your constitutional responsibilities. To this end, I have approved the payment of Group Life Assurance for all members of the Nigerian Army who died in the line of duty.

“To heighten your combat efficiency and dexterity, I also approved the purchase of attack helicopters and other necessary equipment and combat enablers for you to carry out your assignments more proficiently and effectively.

“As the world changes, our security architecture must also change to meet up with the new threats.

Nigerians must be safe in their fields, on our highways, in our markets and in their homes.

“The Nigerian Army remains the backbone of the security architecture that would ensure this security. You must sustain the progress made so far, and evolve strategies to ensure that violent groups do not overwhelm peaceful and law abiding Nigerians.

“As you take direct action against violent groups, you must remember to conduct yourselves in a manner to reflect your professionalism.

“I would ike to encourage you to continue to work closely with your sister services, other security agencies as well as your fellow countrymen and women.

"There is no doubt, you represent the pride of the nation; an institution with history; an institution that has never failed Nigeria.

“Your charge now is not only to protect your country, but to do what is right and just at all times. As your Commander-In-Chief, I know you will.”

Earlier in his remarks, the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. General Taoreed Lagbaja, said the Nigerian Army has matured as a highly professional and potent force over the past 161 years.

"We have completely aligned ourselves with the directive of the Commander-in-Chief, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Grand Commander of the Order of the Federal Republic, that the Armed Forces and other security agencies should decisively deal with all security challenges facing the country.

“In this wise, we will continue to conduct ourselves in a manner that reflects us as a committed and professional force,” Lagbaja added.

Story thè current military men are not well trained, they don't know anything about military combat and don't know what their main functions are. They are good at disturbing bloody armless civilian thou.

We have military officers who joined because of hunger and power not because they are patriotic. The whole military officers needs to be trained seriously.

What is the difference between boko haram and Nigerian soldiers ? Not that much difference. Boko haram carry gun as well our soldiers as shameless as they are terrorise her citizens just like boko haram. The old difference is uniform I can question that too because man boko haram are wearing uniforms and the Nigerian military are paying them, you see the confusion.

So many challenges, from insecurity to hardship.Our Govt need act fast

Story, he thought making his brother the army chief will make them more responsive.

The only place the Nigeria army has training is beating up innocent civilians or shooting unarmed peaceful agitators, when the real action is needed, they always lose.

Keep deceiving yourself.

Tinubu demands safety for Nigerians, urges army to address insecurity.

Under Tinubu's leadership, I believe Nigeria will overcome its security challenges and ensure the safety of its citizens let's cheer him on!

You couldn't secure Lagos during your time and you want to secure Nigeria...joke on you sir.

Good charge .

But you can use merciberies yoo

Will Tinubu's leadership bring an end to the insecurity plaguing Nigeria and ensure the safety of its citizens?

Let's join hands and support Tinubu's leadership to keep Nigerians safe and defeat terrorism!

If he is silent about this they will criticize him, if he speaks they will still criticize him.

So why this in the public?

Not herdsmen blatantly having a field day on a steady.

Story story oooo

Ebimpawa ooooo Tinubu werey man

Keep deceiving yourself.

You didn't include Biafra . Nigerian Army too show themselves for that time.

IDIOTIC CIVILIAN BEGGING TO Lead

Must he wait for an occasion to say this?

The army may not be the problem, the problem is the Northern Fulani elites pushing for Islamization and Fulanization

Tinubu knows them, he won't challenge them because they made him president via rigging or whatever

The army can flush out these bandits and herdsmen but who will give them order to do so? These Fulanis controls the army remotely

the fact that tinubu is tasking the army with the security of lives and property of nigerians which is primarily the job of the police, NSCDC, and DSS, shows that he does not know what to do to improve security.

Talk and No Action
