President Muhammadu Buhari says the numerous security challenges confronting Nigeria have necessitated the launch of the National Security Strategy 2019.
Speaking at the launch, the President said the strategy will come up with articulated, comprehensive, and coordinated response that involves all segments of the society and all elements of the national power.
The Nigerian leader said the National Security Strategy 2019 is a product of painstaking and rigorous deliberations by relevant stakeholders to safeguard the nation from internal and external threats.
According to him, the policy represents “a thoughtful, strategic, and practical expression of our resolve to make Nigeria safe development, investment, growth, and prosperity for everybody.”
He called on heads of Ministries, Departments, and Agencies and Nigerians to see themselves as stakeholders and partners in the task of securing the country and demonstrate unity of purpose in implementing the strategy.
The President also commended the National Security Adviser, Major General Babagana Mungonu, and his team for delivering on the document.
