Salute you to Nancy Iz's Blog: I’ve ordered security agencies to deal decisively with rampaging herdsmen

      President Muhammadu Buhari has reiterated his administration’s resolve to deal decisively and expeditiously with the continued attacks on communities across the country by armed herdsmen, stressing that he has ordered heads of national security agencies to take all necessary measures to apprehend and expose those behind the heinous attacks.
Speaking at a meeting with members of the Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria, CBCN, late on Monday in Abuja, he said: “We are determined to secure all Nigerians and I have told the Inspector-General of Police and other security agencies, in very strong terms, to deal decisively with the attackers.”
A statement issued by the President’s spokesman, Femi Adesina reports that he expressed his personal condolences to the Catholic Bishop of Enugu, the people of Ukpabi Nimbo and all other communities that have suffered fatalities and other losses from the recent attacks.

       Speaking on other national issues, the President assured the Bishops that he was acting with deliberation and moving methodically to implement his change agenda for the good of the country.
“We need to rebuild our institutions methodically, we need to change the way we do things.
“In the last 10 years, crude oil sold for more that $100 per barrel, but Nigeria did not save. That is why we have found ourselves where we are today,” President Buhari told the Catholic Bishops, led by Most Rev. Ignatius Kaigama, the Archbishop of Jos.
The President assured them that his administration was working very hard to fulfill all the promises it had made to Nigerians, adding that his greatest motivating factor now is the desire to bring positive change to Nigeria.

    Speaking on behalf of the bishops, Most Rev. Kaigama expressed the solidarity of the CBCN with the President, adding that: “We are willing to collaborate with you and with your administration, in which we see hope for a greater Nigeria.”
The bishops pledged continued prayers for Nigeria and the government, expressing their conviction that current hardships are temporary, and Nigeria will soon overcome its present difficulties.
