The Chief of Defence Staff, General Lucky Irabor has said though insecurity is still a challenge, the present level cannot be compared to the previous one.
General Irabor, who stated this during a church service to mark this years’ Armed Forces Remembrance Day, said the security threats facing the country would soon become history.
He commended members of the armed forces, especially the veterans who laid the foundation on which we are building upon to bring peace and security to every part of the country.
The defense chief said and I quote, “There are challenges but the challenges are not as much as where we started from. That gives hope for everyone as we go into the year,
“There is ample opportunity to escalate the actions that brought the peace that we now enjoy and also to take it to another level where there would be no need for anyone to live in fear in any part of the country,” end of quote.
In his goodwill message, the Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Faruk Yahaya, noted that the celebration is organised annually in recognition of fallen heroes; who paid the supreme price in the defense of peace, unity and prosperity of Nigeria and the world at large.
