President Bola Tinubu has issued marching order to security agencies to tackle insecurity within the country.
Tinubu, while ordering a complete overhaul of Nigeria’s security strategy, said “enough is enough.”
He issued the directive during a meeting with security chiefs on Wednesday at the Presidential Villa in Abuja and was contained in a statement signed by his spokesman, Bayo Onanuga.
There have been killings in Borno, Benue, Plateau and Kwara states..
However, the statement said the National Security Adviser, NSA, Nuhu Ribadu while addressing State House Correspondents after the meeting, said Tinubu directed a new approach to tackling insecurity across the country.
Ribadu said, “Mr President gave us the chance to come and brief him again. It lasted very long. We gave him an update on what was going on.”
He explained that while the President was on official visits to Paris and London, he remained actively involved and continued to issue instructions to security agencies.
“Today, we had the opportunity to come and brief him again, and it lasted hours. It was a very detailed briefing, and it was exhaustive.
“The issue of insecurity often is not just at the higher levels. It involves the subunits. They are the ones who are directly with the people, especially when some of the challenges border on community problems.
“We need to work with the communities. We need to work with the local governments, and we need to work with the governors.
“The President directed that we work more with governors,” he said.
Ribadu noted that the President was “very worried and concerned” at the meeting.
“He said, ‘Enough is enough’. We are working to ensure that we restore peace and security.”
“We were all at the meeting with the President, armed forces, police, and intelligence community,” Ribadu added.
