The National Elders Forum has agreed with President Muhammadu Buhari on the performance of the Armed forces of Nigeria.
President Buhari at a recent occasion commended the AFN for its professionalism and sacrifices in the protection of the sovereignty of Nigeria.
The president said; “At the inception of this administration, the nation’s security situation was greatly challenged by the activities of violent non-state actors. Today, I am pleased to specially note that the situation has tremendously improved and I wish to also proudly highlight that we have made remarkable progress in the fight against insurgents, militants, oil bunkerers, kidnappers and other criminal elements in the country.”
Buhari added that remarkable transformation of the military in the areas of fighting power, training, operations, manpower, remunerations and medical services, in addition to maintenance efficiency, accommodation and expansion of forces had been recorded.
Reacting to the remarks, the National Elders Forum in a press release on Friday said the AFN had proven that it has the capacity to defend the country in the face of daunting challenges.
The press release signed by NEF president, Otunba Aremu Obatoke and secretary, Mallam Abdullahi Gambo, noted that even more advanced countries are facing security challenges.
