President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday reiterated his desire to hand over a Nigeria free from insecurity to the “next generation of leaders.”
He made the reaffirmation after conferring national honours on 443 Nigerians and seven foreigners at an elaborate ceremony in Abuja.
“We will continue to root out all forms of banditry, criminality, terrorism, and insurgency in the land. As I stated earlier in my Independence address to the nation, I will hand over a Nigeria that is free from insecurity to the next generation of leaders,” he said.
President Buhari explained that national honours were not merely decorative, but meant to “remind us of an important part of our responsibility as citizens.”
Stressing that citizens who contributed to national development deserved to be encouraged and appreciated, he enjoined all Nigerians to always endeavour to do their best for the country.
