The Minister of Defence, General Christopher Musa (retd.), has assured Nigerians in the diaspora that the Federal Government is relentlessly strengthening national security to guarantee a safer country and facilitate seamless visits to their homeland.
Musa stated this during an interactive engagement with members of the Nigerian community residing in Angola, held on the sidelines of the 21st Extraordinary Session of the Assembly of Heads of State and Government of the African Union (AU) in Luanda, Angola.
Expressing appreciation to the Nigerian community in Angola for maintaining a harmonious relationship with the diplomatic mission, the minister emphasised President Bola Tinubu’s unwavering dedication to neutralising security threats nationwide.
He highlighted ongoing efforts to bolster the numerical strength and operational capabilities of the Armed Forces of Nigeria and partner security agencies.
“Every sector is receiving targeted interventions to enhance our national security framework,” General Musa was quoted as saying in a statement signed by his Special Assistant (Media), Leah Katung-Babatunde.
“Some of our ongoing challenges stem from regional instability in the Sahel, which trickles across our borders. However, comprehensive border management measures are actively being implemented to curb these incursions.”
General Musa further reaffirmed the administration’s resolve to sustain the integration of reliable data into national security strategies and developmental planning, stressing that efforts to restore lasting peace and stability remain on course.
On his part, the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, highlighted the enhanced data protection and identity management structures recently instituted by the government, noting that strengthened inter-agency collaboration is yielding measurable results.
Reiterating the agency’s mission, NiDCOM’s Chairman/CEO, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, assured citizens that the commission’s doors remain open to support their welfare and promote opportunities for mutual national prosperity.
The Nigerian delegation to the AU Summit was led by Vice President Kashim Shettima, GCON, who represented His Excellency President Bola Tinubu.
