This is done in order to reinvigorate and reenergize our troops to do more. There will be further reviews where necessary for maximum performance
President Muhammadu Buhari has hinted on possible changes in
the nation’s security architecture to sustain the fight against terrorists and
deal with violent crimes in Nigeria.
The president gave the hint when he received traditional
rulers from the country's South-west region at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on
Wednesday.
President Buhari told the rulers that he had recently
directed a reshuffle in the army where Lt.-Gen. Lamidi Adeosun was promoted and
deployed as the army’s chief of policy and plans.
“I believe you are aware that there is a reshuffle in the
Army, including the promotion and deployment of Lt.-Gen. Lamidi Adeosun as the
Nigerian Army’s Chief of Policy and Plans.
“This is done in order to reinvigorate and reenergize our
troops to do more. There will be further reviews where necessary for maximum
performance," the president said.
He added, “Let me be very clear about our firm resolve to
change the security architecture of Nigeria. It is one of the top priorities
for this government but we won’t be able to achieve this goal without the
support and input of you, our royal fathers.
“We hope that, for instance, traditional rulers will be able
to observe new entrants into the community by requesting leaders of such ethnic
groups to notify the traditional authorities of new intakes, thereby creating
the opportunities for the gathering of actionable intelligence which tracks
such movements in and out of communities thereby offering early warning
signals.’’
