”In adhering to the Fundamental Objectives and Directive Principles of State Policy, notably Section 14(2)(b), I shall do all within my power to ensure that the security and welfare of the people remain the primary purpose of government,” he said.

He disclosed that his administration had been providing the security agencies with all they needed in their ongoing efforts to tackle the nation’s security challenges.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the latest allocation of fund for the security agencies was made on June 9, when the Federal Executive Council (FEC) approved N770.6 billion.

The amount was meant to further enhance the capacity of the defence and security agencies to address current and emerging security challenges in the country.

The president said: ”I have, throughout my tenure, provided the security agencies with all they require relative to available resources and will be providing more as the dynamics unfold to put an end to our security problems.

”My strong belief in the Nigerian spirit gives me comfort that we are facing these challenges with renewed commitment to keep our country one.”

The president thanked all citizens for their patience and resolve to join hands in ”making Nigeria the country of our dream”.

He also wished Nigerians Happy Democracy Day!
