Nigerians to compliment the efforts of leaders in
the country in their efforts to make the country a
better place.
He spoke on Thursday at the graduation
ceremony of senior course 40 of the command
and staff college, Jaji, Kaduna state.
” In Nigeria, there is the tendency to lay the
blame for the state of affairs in the country on
the doorsteps of the leaders alone. Yes, leaders
have a major role to play in providing direction
and the enabling environment. However, the
citizens role also is vital in our attaining
meaningful transformation of any society” he
said.
While commending the armed forces for rising
up to the occasion in addressing the security
challenges in the country, the president enjoined
them not to rest on their oars.
He said when he came into office three years
ago, he promised to tackle insecurity, fight
corruption and improve the economy.
May I assure you of this Administration’s effort
to return our country on the path of peace and
prosperity. At the inception of this
administration, I made 3 key promises to
Nigerians. First is to address the various
security challenges facing our country, second,
to reposition our economy and third to fight the
serious challenge of corruption which had eaten
so deep into the very fabric that sustain our
nation.
“On the issue of security, we recognise that
security challenges abound in all countries of
the world including Nigeria. I am certain, with
the consistent efforts of our security agencies,
these challenges shall be considerably mitigated
and minimised.
“Let me call on the graduating officers to realize
that the nation has made a lot of investment into
your training. Likewise the nation is expecting
the best from you in terms of commitment to
your duties and fatherland.
“The highest standards of competence and
professionalism is expected of you considering
the level of training you have received through
this course. Go out there and make your honest
contributions to the discharge of the
constitutional responsibilities of the Armed
Forces of Nigeria and be good ambassadors of
the Armed Forces Command and Staff College”.
President stated.
