President Muhammadu Buhari has charged the newly-promoted
service chiefs to secure the country in the next few weeks.
Buhari spoke on Friday while decorating them with their new
ranks at the presidential villa, Abuja.
The president said it is necessary for citizens to develop
the confidence to go back to their farms, adding that the military chiefs must
“identify competent officers who will secure the country”.
“During our four-hour security meeting, on Tuesday, I had
taken the responsibility as Commander-in-Chief for you to go out into the field
and secure the country,” he said.
“You have got a few weeks to do that because by the rainy
season, we expect people to develop confidence and go back to the land.
“So that we don’t get into trouble by being away from the
field and therefore unable to produce enough food for the nation.”
Buhari noted that he
had accepted responsibility for their actions in the field, while urging the
new service chiefs to identify competent officers who will secure the country.
“I have accepted responsibility for your actions in the
field; it’s up to you to identify your competent officers irrespective of
seniority and paper qualification and deploy them to make sure that we secure
this country.
“We all look forward to you to perform and I as the
Commander-in-Chief, I am backing you hundred percent, and I expect you to
effectively deploy your officers and men to secure the country.”
