The President said this in a tweet on Tuesday stating that intelligence gathering is a fundamental part to lasting security.
“We are investing heavily in weapons and equipment for our military. They have already received armoured cars and other equipment, and aircraft, and more will come in. We will continue to give them all the support they need to fight criminals. We must and will secure Nigeria.
“Intelligence-gathering is also very critical to ensuring lasting security in Nigeria. In this regard, everyone has a role to play, in addition to the security agencies: Governors, traditional rulers, community leaders, citizens. We must all work to boost intelligence-gathering.
Meanwhile, in a meeting with the governors on Tuesday in Abuja, President Buhari charged the state governors to work more with traditional rulers and community members to improve local intelligence gathering that will aid the work of security agencies. He explained that the closure of Nigeria’s land borders was partly an attempt to control the smuggling in of weapons & drugs stating that the nation’s land borders will be reopened soon.
