Buhari stated this at the Graduation Ceremony of the National Defence College Course 27, on Friday in Abuja.
He said that in spite of the commendable progress made by the armed forces in combating terrorism and insurgency, the nation was still beset with some existential and fundamental challenges.
According to him, the Boko Haram for instance, having lost their insurgency campaign, now factionalised and mutated into a new form of terrorist threat.
The president said that at inception of his administration in 2015 the nation was at a critical crossroads adding that the Boko Haram insurgency was at the height of its infamy and virtually held Nigeria hostage.
He added that the situation constituted a clear and present danger to the corporate existence of Nigeria as a nation.
