The minister of Defence Mohammed Badaru Abubakar recently embarked on an operational visit to Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi State, where he engaged with troops stationed at Dukku Barracks.
The purpose of the visit was to assess the progress of ongoing military operations in the region and to uplift the morale of the dedicated soldiers actively working to combat insecurity, particularly in the North West of Nigeria.
During his address to the troops, Badaru conveyed the deep appreciation of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for their relentless efforts and achievements in promoting peace across the nation.
He commended the soldiers for their professional competence, courage, and sacrifices made in the fight against banditry and other forms of crime. “The President and the nation are profoundly grateful for your unwavering commitment,” he stated.
The Minister encouraged the troops to intensify their efforts in eradicating all forms of insecurity in the country, emphasizing that “it is time to finish all aspects of insecurity.” He posed the question, “Are you ready to end it?” to which the troops responded with a resounding, “Yes! Sir!” This unified response reinforced the Minister’s confidence in the troops’ ability to restore peace and security, allowing citizens to conduct their daily lives without fear.
Minister Badaru reiterated the government’s commitment to supporting the armed forces, prioritizing their welfare and resources to ensure they are well-equipped to carry out their duties.
