The Vision Centre for Communication and Development Advocacy, VICCDA, has charged the new service chiefs to evolve pragmatic strategies in order to overcome the challenges of insecurity in Nigeria.
The Centre in a statement by its acting chairman, Otunba Onayiga made available to ASHENEWS on Thursday, expressed optimism that the military chiefs would deploy their wealth of experience in counter terrorism and anti insurgency, to curb terrorism and other criminal activities.
“The present breathe of fresh air in the military top bracket will usher in an era of a safer Nigeria where the people can go about their daily activities freely,” the statement reads.
The center urged the new service chiefs to be dedicated and committed in the onerous task of securing the territorial integrity of Nigeria.
“Curbing the various security challenges bedevilling our dear country like terrorism, armed banditry and kidnapping should be given priority, while the general public should also pray for and support the new service chiefs.”
