The Honourable Minister of Defence, H.E. Mohammed Badaru Abubakar, CON, mni, has assured the people of the South-East of enhanced security measures, emphasizing that a secure environment is crucial for business growth and prosperity.

A media statement signed by Henshaw Ogubike, Director, Information and Public Relations, Ministry of Defense, disclosed that during his operational visit to Enugu in the South-East, the Minister addressed officers and personnel of the 82 Division/Joint task force south East Operation Udo ka under the General officer commanding, Major-General H.T Dada.

“The Minister appreciates their performance and urge them to intensify their efforts in combating insecurity in the region. He also engaged with key stakeholders, including heads of security agencies, traditional rulers, students, and other community leaders, to discuss collaborative strategies for addressing the current security challenges. Other military platforms visited by the Minister included the Nigerian Airforce base Emene, Enugu” Ogunike said

“President Tinubu has directed me to engage with you all to find sustainable solutions to insecurity. Without security, there can be no peace or development, We seek your candid suggestions and information on how we can practically enhance security and foster lasting peace in this region” Badaru said

He acknowledged the entrepreneurial spirit of the South-East populace, asserting that security and peace are essential for businesses to thrive.

The Minister reaffirmed President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to eradicating all forms of insecurity in the South-East . He elucidated on the progress made by the Tinubu administration over the past year in combating insecurity across the nation, particularly in these region.

Additionally, retired Major General John Nwoga emphasized the role of social media in exacerbating insecurity, noting that the circulation of old videos depicting criminal activities contributes to fear and panic within communities.
