President Bola Tinubu stated on Tuesday that his administration is winning the battle on terrorism and banditry.
In a national broadcast commemorating Nigeria’s 64th anniversary of independence, Tinubu stated that his administration’s goal is to eliminate all dangers to the country, including Boko Haram, banditry, kidnapping for ransom, and the scourge of violent extremism.
“On the security front, I am happy to announce to you, my compatriots, that our administration is winning the war on terror and banditry.
“Within one year, our government has eliminated Boko Haram and bandit commanders faster than ever. As of the last count, over 300 Boko Haram and bandit commanders have been eliminated by our gallant troops in the Northeast, Northwest, and some other parts of the country.
“We have restored peace to hundreds of communities in the North, and thousands of our people have been able to return home. It is an unfinished business, which our security agencies are committed to ending as quickly as possible,” he said.
Tinubu also promised that, “As soon as we can restore peace to many communities in the troubled parts of the North, our farmers can return to their farms. We expect to see a leap in food production and a downward spiral in food costs. I promise you, we shall not falter on this,” he added.
