Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris said President Bola Tinubu has continued to strengthen the country’s security architecture, assuring of better days ahead.
Idris stated this at a press briefing on the just concluded South East security summit and the achievements of the Renewed Hope Agenda administration in Umuahia, the Abia State capital.
He said the achievements have been through enhanced support for security agencies, improved operational capacity, intelligence coordination and closer collaboration among federal, state and community stakeholder.
His words, “President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration is committed to ensuring that every Nigerian, in every part of the country, has the right to live, work and pursue prosperity in a safe and secure environment.
”Security challenges facing the South-East, like other parts of Nigeria, require a comprehensive approach that combines effective law enforcement, intelligence-driven operations, community engagement, economic empowerment and development.”
According to the minister, under the Renewed Hope Agenda administration, the federal government recognises that lasting security cannot be achieved through force alone.
”Peace and stability are strengthened when citizens have economic opportunities, young people have hope, businesses can thrive and communities have confidence in government.
”This is why the Renewed Hope Agenda places security within a broader framework of economic development, infrastructure renewal, human capital investment and social inclusion,” he explained.
He also said the summit reinforced the administration’s commitment to listening to citizens, engaging communities and working with stakeholders across the country to develop solutions that reflect local realities.
”It also provided an opportunity to highlight the broader efforts of the federal government to reposition Nigeria for sustainable growth and development,” the minister further explained.
While stressing that the government recognises the enormous potential of the South-East, he noted that it remains committed to creating the conditions necessary for businesses, industries and communities in the region to prosper.
He observed that the strong attendance and quality of participation at the summit demonstrate a shared understanding that security is not only a responsibility of government or security agencies alone.
Idris, who added that it requires the collective commitment of communities, leaders and citizens, commended the organisers of the summit for the large attendance and its success.
