“Nigerians know at what stage we came in in 2015, what state we are today both on security and the economy and we are doing our best. The law enforcement agencies are working hard to regain confidence against the bandits, so that we can go back to the land. This is very important. This is what the agencies are busy doing right now. We want people to go back to the land so that we can get enough food for the country and even export”, he added.Insecurity: We Are Working Very Hard, I Hope Nigerians Will Understand – Buhari
“I expect Nigerians to be more understanding on the issues involved, looking at the time and available resources. For example, when we came in, in the Northeast, ask people in Adamawa and Borno States and the South-South in terms of security. Without security, you can’t do anything. Our big surprise and disappointment is what is happening in the Northwest and we are dealing with it”, he said further.

Explaining ongoing efforts to tackle the security situation in the country by the administration, President Buhari drew attention to the series of long meetings held in recent weeks, chaired by him, saying that a part of resolutions had been made public by the National Security Adviser and the others kept secret. He also commended the National Assembly for its support, saying that “the National Assembly is cooperating very well. Within the resources available, they are certainly giving us priority on our (military) requests.Insecurity: We Are Working Very Hard, I Hope Nigerians Will Understand – Buhari
The President then appealed to the nation’s elite to show a better appreciation of the problems facing the country. “The elite should make the attempt to understand the military. If we order weapons and armored vehicles, it takes time for the manufacturers. It takes time to ship them and when brought here eventually, they are taken to training institutions, train the trainers before sending them to the field. This is a very long process.”Insecurity: We Are Working Very Hard, I Hope Nigerians Will Understand – BuhariTRENDING VIDEO OF THE WEEK: 2 Chibok Girls Graduate From University
