\u201cToday, our country is bedeviled with varied security challenges. We must therefore be resolute and remain strong in the face of these challenges,\u201dhe said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith unity of purpose, we can surmount the challenges and keep Nigeria one and free from violence and crime,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He urged them to bring up ideas that would build trust and promote public confidence in security agencies.<\/p>\n

\u201cRemain steadfast, committed and loyal to the cause, I therefore charge you to rededicate yourselves to the service of your father land,\u201dhe said.<\/p>\n
