President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has said that national security is the foundation of peace and progress, stressing his administration has intensified security operations to reclaim communities from criminals and terrorists.

Addressing Nigerians at the joint sitting of the National Assembly as part of activities lined up to commemorate Democracy Day in Abuja on Wednesday, President Tinubu said: “We are better at coordinating intelligence, and inter-agency cooperation has improved. Our highways are safer, and we invest in technology and training to secure every inch of this country.

“Let us take this opportunity to thank the men and women of our Armed Forces for their bravery in service to the nation. Their selfless dedication to protecting our sovereignty and ensuring the safety of citizens should serve as an inspiration to us all.

“As we celebrate the progress of our democracy, we must not forget the pivotal role they play in safeguarding our freedoms. For their courage and commitment, they deserve not only our gratitude but also our continued support, prayers, and recognition.”
