Buhari Unveils Fresh Security Strategies
President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday unveiled the reviewed National Security Strategy 2019 with a fresh promise to enhance the security situation in the country.
The event held shortly before the commencement of the weekly Federal Executive Council meeting at the State House in Abuja.
Speaking at the event, President Buhari stated his commitment to enhancing the social security of Nigerians as a means of improving their physical security. 
He added that the numerous security challenges confronting the nation made it necessary to come up with an articulated, comprehensive and coordinated response that involved all segments of the society.
The President noted that the National Security Strategy 2019 was a product of painstaking and rigorous deliberations by relevant stakeholders which is believed will make Nigeria safe for development, investment, growth and prosperity for everybody.
“As we continue to work towards completely ending insurgency in the northeast and laying the foundation of sustainable peace and development in the region, we are also addressing conflicts between farmers and herders, banditry and various forms of security challenges.
“In addition to security, economic diversification and fighting corruptions, our administration priorities for the second term include pursuing improvements in education, healthcare and agriculture.
“These priorities reflect our commitment to enhancing the social security of Nigerians as a means of improving their physical security.
“I’m happy to observe that the National Security Strategy reflects this thinking with emphasis on overall human security.
“I’m pleased also to know that the strategy emerged after a long time consultative and participatory process that elicited contributions primarily from our security, intelligence, law enforcement agencies and the armed forces,” Buhari said.
Present at the public presentation of the document were members of the Federal Executive Council, Service Chiefs and the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu as well as Deputy Senate President Ovie Omo-Agege and the Speaker House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila.
