President Bola Tinubu has ordered security chiefs to ensure that there is conclusive victory against the myriad of security threats assailing the country.
Addressing security chiefs and heads of intelligence agencies at the Presidential Security Briefing at the State House, in Abuja, on Friday, President Tinubu said while good progress is being made with the elimination of some security threats across multiple theatres, success will ultimately be defined by a final conclusion to the multi-dimensional menace.
The President emphasised that the Armed Forces must deliver on his objective to ensure the country achieves sustainable production of two million barrels of crude oil per day, including condensates, within the first quarter of 2024.
The President also commended the Commander of the Presidential Air fleet (PAF), the Commander of the Brigade of Guards (BoG), and his Chief Personal Security Officer (CPSO) for their dedication and commitment in the discharge of their assignments, which has earned them promotion.
The newly promoted officers were decorated by the President who was assisted by the Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Hassan Bala Abubakar; the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant-General Taoreed Abiodun Lagbaja; and the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, respectively, in the presence of the spouses of the elevated officers.
The event was witnessed by the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu; Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle as well as presidential aides.
