General Ibrahim Babangida, Former Military President has commended the federal government and all security agencies in their efforts to curtail the security challenges facing the nation.
Babangida made this statement in an end of the year message to Nigerians; he said “There is no doubt that 2014 has been a very difficult year for us individually and collectively as a nation.
“I would be stating the obvious if I say at no point in the nation’s history have we faced the kind of challenges we have had in recent times, especially with regard to security and in particular, the insurgency facing the north eastern part of the country.
“I am always deeply pained when I read of innocent countrymen, women and children being killed, abducted and subjected to all manner of indignities including internal displacement by a senseless insurgency and communal strives.
“The Federal Government and all the security agencies must be commended in their efforts to curtail the security challenges facing the nation. There is, however, more room for such efforts to be improved upon to save the lives and property of Nigerians by making them feel more secure in their country.”
