Nigeria’s president Muhammadu Buhari has issued a marching order to the new service chiefs who he decorated today March 5.
This order was given by the President Buhari while speaking at the presidential villa, Abuja.
Buhari told the service chiefs that they have few weeks to secure the country.
Buhari also asked them to identify competent officers irrespective of seniority and paper qualification and deploy them to make sure that the country is secured.
He said;
“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.
“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.
“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.”
