President Muhammadu Buhari has charged the military and security agencies to ensure a secure and prosperous Nigeria as the nation prepares for the general election in 2023.
Speaking in Kano Monday at a ceremonial parade to commemorate the 58th Anniversary of the Nigerian Air Force, the President tasked the security agencies to remain committed, steadfast and resolute as government forges ahead to achieving a secure, peaceful and more prosperous Nigeria.
While praising the leadership of the security agencies for doing their jobs well, President Buhari particularly lauded the Chief of Air Staff, officers, airmen, airwomen and civilian staff of the air force for the good work they are doing to support government’s defence and security policies as well as the high level of discipline, loyalty to the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and support of democratic values.
The president also had kind words for the Nigerian Air Force for living up to its constitutional responsibilities of securing the nation, and in the process, justifying the investments of the government of the day in the force.
According to him, the Air Force had transformed into a formidable entity, ready to confront immediate and future challenges.
