Buhari reiterates commitment to tackle banditry, terrorism

President Muhammadu Buhari, on Tuesday reiterated the commitment of his administration to tackle terrorists and bandits who have been putting their knees on the necks of Nigerians.

Buhari gave the assurance at the Citizens summit for National Integration, Peace and Security convened by the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR) with the theme,” Reopen Conversation, Rebuild Trust,” held in Abuja.

Represented by the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, Buhari assured Nigerians that just like his administration had put the seemingly-intractable farmers-herders crisis under control, it would also successfully tackle the terrorists and bandits.

Buhari, who commended gallant men and women in uniform, appealed to all compatriots to continue to support them in their onerous task of keeping the country safe.

He challenged the institute to use its powerful platform to speak out against those fanning the embers of disunity and discord in the country.

In attendance were the former Minister of Information, Mr Jerry Gana; former governor of Kano State, Sen. Ibrahim Shekarau; Rep. Ado Doguwa, and others.
