President Bola Tinubu has urged the Nigerian Army to tackle banditry like it did with Boko Haram.

This was as Tinubu charged the Nigerian Army to tackle criminals trying to destabilize Nigeria.

He assured Nigerians of his administration’s readiness to address the insecurity issues across the country.

Tinubu, who was represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima, spoke at the Nigerian Army Day celebration on Thursday in Ibadan, Oyo State.

He vowed to tackle all threats to national security within the shortest time possible.

“I assure the Nigerian Army and the entire Armed Forces of my commitment to their welfare, and I will address the issue of equipment, insufficient funding, and other factors constraining their efficient operation.

”I commend you for your joint efforts in tackling Boko Haram, and I urge you to replicate the same in tackling banditry and other criminals trying to destabilize the country,” he said.
