The President, while calling for increased vigilance by local communities, reassured that his administration would give security close attention.

He added that his government was committed to boosting the morale of our armed forces by effectively funding them and attending to their welfare.

He condoled with the families of the victims of the latest terrorist attack on Maiduguri and assured them that the days of these criminal elements will be over soon.
