President Muhammadu Buhari has assured Nigerians that the military will surmount insecurity across the country and bring about peace.
He promised that the nation’s military under his command would step up its drive to counter terrorists and their activities, especially in the northern region.
This was contained in a statement issued by Femi Adesina, the special adviser to the president on media and publicity.
According to the statement, the president spoke when he inaugurated the 12 Nigerian Navy Games, LAGOS 2022, and its new Sports Complex in Lagos.
President Buhari asked Nigerians to “believe in the capability of the armed forces to safeguard and bring long-lasting peace and stability to the country.”
He pledged that “the armed forces would continue to sustain their operational tempo to contain the security challenges in the country.”

According to the president, synergy among the armed forces, other security agencies, and the general public remains one of the potent tools to quell insecurity across the country.
He said, “Over the years, sports have remained a tool to strengthen the ties between troops, instilling discipline and readiness to serve a common cause in the military. I am sure that these games will create a forum for the Nigerian Navy to achieve these objectives and more.
“The construction of this sports complex has provided a standard venue for the Nigerian Navy to host major games as well as an appropriate venue for naval personnel within Lagos to use for training and other recreational purposes.
“I am therefore confident that besides the conduct of the games, the Nigerian Navy and its personnel will continue to make good use of the facilities in this complex.”
