The Interior Minister, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, said on Tuesday that the federal government is making frantic efforts to tackle the nation’s security challenges.
Tunji-Ojo who spoke on Tuesday, said the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu; the Minister of Defence, Mohammed Badaru and the Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, are losing sleep over the issue.
“Nobody is resting. Not the NSA, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, not the Minister of Defence, not the Chief of Defence Staff, not the DSS,” the minister said.
“Nobody is sleeping, we are working. This security issue is a major issue of national concern and I will not sit here and refuse to take responsibility for the security of Nigerians on behalf of the President.”
He stated that although security has improved in the country since President Bola Tinubu’s administration came on board, the minister stated that the Boko Haram terrorists and the Islamic State of West Africa Province (ISWAP) have been degraded by troops.
The minister explained that the current administration has led by example in securing the lives and properties of Nigerians.
