President Tinubu on Saturday made a new pledge, announcing that his government is committed to defending Nigerians from terrorism, crime, and poverty.
President Tinubu claimed that the military’s kinetic actions alone could not address insecurity, thus his government is committed to addressing poverty, terrorism, and criminality.
He made this pledge at the passing-out parade for the Cadets of 72 Regular Course, Short Service Course 48, and Direct Short Service in Kaduna.
Speaking on behalf of President Tinubu, Senate President Godswill Akpabio stated that his administration is giving top priority to the creation of jobs, macroeconomic stability, enhanced investment climate, human capital development, poverty reduction and elimination, and social security.
He said: “My administration has remained unrelenting in our resolve to provide a holistically safe society for all our citizens by implementing programmes and policies empowering Nigerians to combat poverty, criminality and terrorism.
“We recognise that no amount of kinetic effort of our armed forces and other security agencies will guarantee the safety of our people if other key drivers of insecurity, such as poverty, unemployment, poor innovation and general economic and social disintegration have not been tackled.
“That is why, besides defence and internal security, my administration has continued to prioritise job creation, macroeconomic stability, improved investment environment, human capital development, poverty eradication and poverty reduction and social security.
“All these are being concurrently addressed through the Renewed Hope Agenda, which will drive my doctrine of 4D, diplomacy strategy centred on promoting democracy, driving economic development and nurturing Nigeria’s demographic potential and engaging with the diaspora community.
“This way, Nigeria will experience the transformative strides that would reposition Nigeria as a prime global investment destination.”
