    Nigeria’s New President Promises to defend Nigeria from terror and criminality

    President Bola Tinubu has promised to defend Nigeria from terror and all forms of criminality threatening the peace and stability of the country and the subregion.

    Tinubu said this in his inaugural address after he was sworn in as the 16th democratically elected president of Nigeria on Monday in Abuja.

    He said that security shall be the top priority of his administration, saying that neither prosperity nor justice could prevail amidst insecurity and violence.

    “To effectively tackle this menace, we shall reform both our security Doctrine and its Architecture.

    “We shall invest more in our security personnel, and this means more than an increase in number.

    “We shall provide, better training, equipment, pay and firepower,” he said.

    Tinubu said his mission was to improve the lives of Nigerians in a manner that nurtured humanity, encourage compassion toward one another, and duly rewards collective effort to resolve the social ills that sought to divide the nation.

    “Our constitution and laws give us a nation on paper, saying we must work harder at bringing these noble documents to life by strengthening the bonds of economic collaboration, social cohesion, and cultural understanding,” he said.

    He called for the development of a shared sense of fairness and equity, adding that the South must not only seek good for itself but must understand that its interests were served when good come to the North.

    “The North must see the South likewise.

    “Whether from the winding creeks of the Niger Delta, the vastness of the northern savannah, the boardrooms of Lagos, the bustling capital of Abuja, or the busy markets of Onitsha, you are all my people.

    “As your president, I shall serve with prejudice toward none but compassion and amity towards all.

    “In the coming days and weeks, my team will publicly detail key aspects of our programme,” he said.
