Vice President, Professor YEMI OSINBAJO, has said that the Federal Government is making concerted efforts to beef up its response to the nation's security challenges.

He listed the recent supplementary budget sent to the National Assembly on enhancing the capacity of the military and other security agencies as part of such moves.

Professor OSINBAJO stated this when he received the Oluyin of Iyin Ekiti, Oba ADEOLA AJAKAIYE, in company with the Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, NIYI ADEBAYO, and Senator OPEYEMI BAMIDELE at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

He stressed the need for traditional rulers, as well as local and state governments to collaborate with the Federal Government in tackling insecurity in the land.

The Vice President explained that it was important to take decisive action at the community level because most of the problems occur there.

In his remarks, Oba AJAKAIYE thanked the Vice President for granting them an audience and listening to their demands, including support for the establishment of a Federal University of Medical and Health Sciences in the community.
