The Armed Forces of Nigeria has assured President Muhammadu Buhari that it was developing new strategies to deal with insecurity in Nigeria. This was disclosed on Thursday by Major General Babagana Monguno (Rtd), the National Security Adviser (NSA) at the end of the National Security Council meeting which was presided over by President Buhari at the State House, Abuja.
He said, “Members of the Armed Forces have made a commitment that in the coming weeks, they have already started working on a new strategy to deal with these snippets of violence.
“They have given their word, commitment to the President that there will be a change in momentum, regardless of the fact that there might be certain institutional limitations which they face. They have understood the enormity of responsibilities that they have”.
He also advised the media to desist from giving unnecessary publicity to the terrorists.
According to him, “We are in a very difficult situation. The Council understands that Mr. President understands people’s concerns about the growing insecurity.
“I can assure you that there is no straight, cut and dry method of dealing with this thing, and let all of us embrace each other. I know people are weary, tired. People are beginning to gravitate to other places for self-help. The truth is that help is rooted in everyone working for the other person”.
