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.
