President Bola Tinubu has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to restoring peace in Nigeria’s troubled northern regions, enabling displaced farmers to return to their farmlands and increase food production.
“We expect to see a leap in food production and a downward spiral in food costs. I promise you, we shall not falter on this,” Tinubu declared during his 2024 Anniversary Broadcast on Nigeria’s 64th Independence Day.
Tinubu expressed confidence in his administration’s progress in combating terrorism and banditry, aiming to eliminate threats from Boko Haram, banditry, kidnapping, and violent extremism.
He highlighted the elimination of over 300 Boko Haram and bandit commanders by Nigerian troops in the Northeast, Northwest, and other parts of the country.
“We have restored peace to hundreds of communities in the North and thousands of our people have been able to return home. It is an unfinished business, which our security agencies are committed to ending as quickly as possible,” Tinubu emphasized.
