Newly sworn-in Minister of Defence, General Christopher Musa (rtd), has assured citizens that the Federal Government’s renewed security strategies will soon yield visible results across the country.
Musa gave the assurance on Thursday shortly after President Bola Tinubu formally swore him in at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The minister, who spoke to journalists said his immediate priority is to reposition the defence architecture and strengthen cooperation among all security formations.
“My immediate priority is to make sure that defence takes its place fully in the country. The synergy between the armed forces, between the armed forces and other security agencies, and all Nigerians being carried along, as we have always said, security is everybody’s responsibility,” he said.
“It is that synergy that we need to build on and work on, and that’s what we are going to do. I can assure you, within the shortest possible time, Nigerians will see results.
“I want to use this medium to appreciate all Nigerians. Nigerians have shown me love, and I will guarantee them that I am going to work, whatever it takes, to ensure that Nigeria is secured,” he said.
