The Minister of Defence, Mohammed Badaru, has assured that President Bola Tinubu is determined to end insecurity in the Southeast and Nigeria.
Badaru said a secure environment is crucial for business growth and peace, hence the need to end insecurity in the region.
Addressing military officers during an operational visit to Enugu, the Minister urged the military personnel to intensify efforts to combat the region’s insecurity.
This was contained in a statement issued on Saturday by the Ministry’s spokesman, Henshaw Ogbuike.
“There is a renewed determination to intensify our efforts against all forms of insecurity under President Tinubu’s leadership,” Badaru said.
Badaru added that Tinubu’s commitment to eradicating all forms of insecurity is restricted not only to a region but also nationwide.
The minister said in the last year, significant progress had been made to that effect.
In Imo, Badaru visited Hope Uzodimma, the state governor, and extended his gratitude for his support of the military operations.
“We are determined to end insecurity in Nigeria,” he said.
This is coming when a self-acclaimed Prime Minister of Biafra, Simon Ekpa was arrested and detained in Finland for terrorism-related charges.
Ekpa has been one of those sponsoring terrorism in the Southeast through the enforcement of sit-at-home and unknown gunmen activities.

The Ekaarun Balogun of Ibadanland, High Chief Sharafadeen Abiodun Alli, who spoke on behalf of the Ibadan monarch, said: “The Olubadan appreciates your attendance at his coronation in July this year. He also appreciates your visit today. The Olubadan thanks you for the roles you have been playing in preaching religious tolerance and harmony in the country. The Olubadan implores you to continue to play your role as the co-chairman of the Nigeria Inter-Religious Council, NIREC.”
The Sultan, earlier in his speech, said that he has visited Ibadan more than any other city in the South West region.
