Addressing the gallant soldiers, the Minister conveyed the President gratification. He said, “The President and the nation are profoundly grateful for your commitment. However, the fight is not yet over. We must not rest on our laurels.

“I urge you to double your efforts, to push harder, to be even more vigilant in your pursuit of those who seek to destabilize our nation.

“We must bring an end to all forms of insecurity swiftly and decisively, ensuring the safety and security of every Nigerian citizen,” the Minister affirmed.

He maintained that, The President expects “nothing less, and the nation deserves nothing less.”

 

Questioning the troops, the Defence Minister asked “Are you ready to end insecurity?” In unison, they affirmatively said, “Yes! Sir!”

The minister, however, commended the troops’ steadfastness and reaffirmed the government’s commitment to support them by prioritizing their welfare.
