“We shall overcome the internal security threats our nation is facing. We must all key into this agenda. We are capable of handling threats affecting the internal security our nation. Nobody should act with impunity. Offenders will never get away with crime. I will make staff welfare a priority. “
“As a result of our commitment to a proactive security agenda for the country, we are going to set up an early warning alarm system in all the geopolitical zones to nip in the bud any security breach before it happens.”
On the new work modalities at the ministry, Aregbesola said: “We must adopt his (President Buhari’s) slogan in the way that it’s best suited for us. So, we will adopt ‘SET’ in this ministry, which means Security, Economic improvement and Transparency.”
He added: “We are more than capable to keep Nigeria safe.”
