The Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrosheed Adewale Akanbi, has commended the collaborative efforts of the Nigerian military in tackling security challenges especially in the area of intelligence gathering and information sharing.
This is as the Osun monarch also commended the readiness of President Bola Tinubu to address insecurity in the country.
Oba Akanbi made this known via a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Alli Ibraheem, and obtained by DAILY POST on Tuesday in Osogbo.
While stressing that the collaborative approach has significantly contributed to curtailing insecurity in the country, he observed that the inter-agency collaboration has aided intelligence gathering and information dissemination among the military.
The royal father also expressed hope that, with the newfound understanding among the men and officers at the battlefront, insecurity would reduce significantly in the coming months.
“Nigeria’s security architecture has significantly improved as manifested in the decimation of terrorism and banditry. This was not unconnected with the appointment of capable hands as security chiefs. The synergy and inter-agency collaboration among them mostly especially in intelligence gathering and information dissemination have contributed immensely in checkmating insecurity.
“I specifically and especially commend the Commander In Chief of the Armed Forces, President Ahmed Tinubu for appointing capable hands as Service Chiefs to reconstruct the security model of Nigeria.
“He gave the security baton to the best hands in the military and the police. He also gave them free hands to do their job without interference. Today, we are all seeing the results from these dedicated Nigerian patriots,” he said.
While calling on Nigerians to support the security personnel in intelligence gathering by providing useful information that could help in the prevention of attacks, Oluwo noted that the approach of the security chiefs to tackling insecurity is unique.
In his words, “It shows readiness, dedication, commitment and loyalty to one nation. I doubt if we had ever had it show well like this. The morale is high. They deserve our prayers, commendation and ultimate support.”
He also urged the government to provide more welfare packages for security operatives in the country to boost their morale.
