In a recent statement, Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Hasan Abubakar, emphasized the military’s responsibility in securing Nigeria under the current administration. President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to providing necessary equipment and resources, coupled with the N3.2tn allocated for defense and security in the 2024 budget, sets the stage for robust action.
Abubakar urged troops to maintain the offensive against criminal elements, highlighting the importance of citizens’ support. “We have no excuse not to deliver on our mandate,” he asserted, underscoring the government’s provision for success.
