President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday in Wanke village in Gusau Local Government Area of Zamfara State during a one-day working visit to the state said that security situation in the country has improved since he took over the power.
He added that the situation would continue to improve under his leadership.
President Buhari, who commissioned Road Projects in Wanke village Zamfara State also expressed confidence in the ability of the Nigerian Armed forces to contain any form of terrorism in any part of the country.
He also reiterated that the Government, through its micro economic and monetary policies of the Central Bank, would soon revitalise the nation’s economic sector. President Buhari said that part of his visit to the state was to encourage the military that were currently in the state for the 2016 Nigerian Army Day celebration.
He said this year’s event was aimed partly to root out cattle rustlers and armed bandits in the state as well as in neighbouring states of Kaduna, Kebbi, Katsina and Sokoto.
Earlier, Gov. Abdul’Aziz Yari said the president had rekindled the hopes of Nigerians through his policies and programmes.
“In order to complement the Federal Government’s efforts to address security issues in the state, more access roads have been opened to ease the operations of security agents. “It is only when the fight against criminals is won that the state’s economy can improve,’’Yari said.
He appealed to the Federal Government to continue to come up with meaningful programmes that would be replicated by the states for the benefit of Nigerians.
