Our reporter/ President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday pledged to overhaul the nation’s security architecture.
Tinubu, who made the pledge while presenting the N27 trillion budget estimate before the joint sitting of the national assembly, said the federal government will re-organise Nigeria’s entire internal security architecture.
According to Tinubu, the budget seeks to achieve “job-rich economic growth, macro-economic stability”, better investment environment, and access to social security.
“Defence and internal security are accorded top priority,” he said.
“The internal security architecture will be overhauled to enhance law enforcement capabilities and safeguard lives, property and investments across the country.
“Human capital is the most critical resource for national development. Accordingly, the budget prioritises human development with particular attention to children, the foundation of our nation.”
The President further stated that his government is committed to “improving the lot” of Nigerians and delivering on his campaign promises.
According to him, the 2024 budget has the potential to boost performance, promote the development of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises, enhance security and public safety, and improve the general living conditions of our people.
“I am confident that these budgetary allocations and directives will set Nigeria on a transformative path towards a sustainable and resilient energy future, fostering economic growth, job creation, and environmental preservation,” he said.
The president added that despite global headwinds, the Nigerian economy has proven resilient, maintaining modest but positive growth over the past twelve months.
