Nigeria facing unique security challenges – Olonisakin

Nigeria’s Ambassador to the Republic of Cameroon, Gen Gabriel Olonisakin, has called for a united effort to fight insecurity as he assured that President Muhammadu Buhari was working to end insecurity in Nigeria.

Speaking on the sidelines of the nation’s 61st independence anniversary, Olonisakin said Nigeria was facing its own unique challenges just like every other country in the world and sought the support of citizens to end insecurity.

He said Buhari’s government is working assiduously to ensure a safe and secure Nigeria that is essential for building a sustainable economy for all Nigerians.

He commended Nigerians living in Cameroon for living in peace and being law-abiding as he expressed gratitude to the government of Cameroon and the President, Paul Biya, for sustaining the good relationship between the two countries.

The retired army chief also commended the efforts of the Nigeria-Cameroon Trans-Border Security Committee collaboration held in Abuja recently, saying that it was a defining moment of collective effort.

Olonisakin said Nigeria is facing its own unique challenges just like every other country in the world but assured that Buhari’s government is working assiduously to ensure a safe and secure Nigeria that is essential for building a sustainable economy for all Nigerians.

According to him, “It is important to appreciate the government and people of Cameroon for this collaboration which is aimed at ensuring collective peace and progress for our both countries.”

“I assure you that the Federal Government under the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari is working to put end to insecurity in Nigeria.
