President Goodluck Jonathan in a quest to end insurgency in the country, yesterday said the Nigerian military would take delivery of more Military equipment within this week and next week.
Jonathan made this known, when he paid a courtesy call on the Emir of Ilorin, Alhaji Ibrahim Gambari, in his palace, when his campaign team touched down in the state.
The President stated that upon delivery of the weapons, the military in the next two weeks will be able to step down the issue of insurgency in the country.
He affirmed, “You have observed us for the past four years. Yes, we have security challenges relating to the Boko Haram saga, mainly in the North-East.
“Although their excesses extend to some parts of the North, like Abuja, Sokoto, Gombe and Kano, it is mainly in the North-East. We are working hard and we shall surely bring it to a halt.
“As far as the military is concerned, even as we are talking, we are expecting more platforms this week and next week.
“I believe that in the next two weeks or so, we will be able to move faster than we are moving.”
Other than security, the President observed that his government has done well in other areas like road construction.
He admitted that though work is still in progress, all over the world, no government solves all of its country’s problem in just four years.
“We have intervened in so many areas. Agriculture that touches the life of an ordinary Nigerian is one of the areas that we have been working very hard.
Jonathan further said “We are trying to move agriculture to the next level; a level that young graduates will be able to embrace”.(Daily Post)
