President Buhari Promises To Crush Terrorists
President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday during his visit to Kaduna State vowed to crush terrorists and criminals operating in the state and across the country.
Buhari stated this while speaking at the State Banquet organised by the state Governor, Nasir El-Rufa’i to commemorate his official visit to the state.
The President commended the state government for establishing a ministry dedicated to internal security.
He said, “I wish to assure the people and government of Kaduna State that the Federal Government is doing its utmost to contain and crush the terrorists menacing our citizens and their property in parts of the country. On behalf of the Federal Government, I commend the efforts of the Kaduna State Government to respond to the demands of development.
“The relationship between our tiers of government represents an instance of successful collaboration between the national and State governments for progress, peace and prosperity. I urge Malam Nasir El-Rufai to push on and not relent in his efforts to accelerate change and progress in Kaduna State.”
Buhari also expressed delight over the commissioning of projects undertaken by the State government.
He added, “Most of my visits to Kaduna State since 2015 have been in connection with clear strides of progress. I was here in 2017 to commission the hatchery and feed mill project of Olam, a multinational agribusiness company that has sited a major factory in Kaduna. In August 2019, I had the honour to commission Phase 2 of the Zaria Water Project and a road project.
“Therefore, I am not surprised that Nasir El-Rufai and his team have undertaken such a major investment in infrastructure development. I am glad to say I have seen with my own eyes the remarkable changes across all the three Senatorial zones.”
