Peterside Tasks New Service Chiefs’ to Justify Appointment
BUHARI
The immediate past Director-General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Dr. Dakuku Peterside has commended President Muhammadu Buhari over the appointment of new service chiefs.
This is just as he has tasked them to justify the confidence reposed in them by the president in ensuring that there is synergy in the battle against insurgency, banditry, and kidnapping.
According to him, naming new helmsmen to head the various military formations has once again proven that the president listens and acts within the confines of his mandate.
He noted that President Buhari has once again risen to the occasion by appointing new top military personnel to provide added impetus in determined efforts by the federal government to make Nigeria more secure.
Dr. Peterside called on the new service chiefs to do all within their powers to arrest remnants of insecurity in parts of the country, in addition to working with the civil society and collaborating across agencies and institutions.
According to him, “the new service chiefs are coming in at a time when Nigerians are demanding more decisive actions against insurgents, bandits, and kidnappers. They sure have their works cut out; it is obvious that they will be under pressure to perform.
“The president has responded to the yearning of Nigerians by bringing fresh hands on board. We must all support them to succeed. Security is for all of us and we must contribute our quota by assisting them in whatever way we can.
“We must also commend the outgone service chiefs. They gave their best in the fight against crime and criminality. It now behooves on their successors to consolidate on what they meet on the ground and build upon it.”
