President Muhammadu Buhari has said that he would hand over an insecurity-free Nigeria to the next leader in 2023.
The President gave the assurance while speaking at the 2022 National Honours Award Investiture held at the International Conference Centre in Abuja on Tuesday, October 11.
Buhari said his administration would root out all forms of banditry, criminality, terrorism and insurgency before leaving office in May 2023.
“We will continue to root out all forms of banditry, criminality, terrorism and insurgency in the land.
As I stated earlier in my in- dependence address to the nation, I will hand over a Nigeria that is free from insecurity to the next generation of leaders” President Buhari said.
According to the president, the national honours were not mere decoration but a reminder of citizens’ responsibility, saying that, “we must always endeavour to do our best for our country.”
