<p>While congratulating the newly appointed service chiefs, the president urged them to intensify the fight against insecurity.</p>
<p>He told the new service chiefs that the ceremony was “beyond the symbolism of decoration” and marked “the beginning of our renewed effort to ensure the peace and security of all Nigerians.”</p>
<p>The president made it known to the officers that they had been “carefully selected for this critical task” and entrusted them with “a tremendous responsibility” that must be met “with the highest standards of commitment and dedication.”</p>
<p>Security, the president said, is foundational. “There cannot be sufficient development if this fundamental aspect of human need is unmet,” he told the service chiefs, arguing that citizens must feel secure to enjoy the benefits of governance</p>
<p>Mr. President paid tribute to the armed forces for their role in reclaiming territory from terrorists and rescuing kidnapped citizens, and thanked troops for their “patriotism, diligence and dedication.”</p>
<p>Speaking directly to the Chief of Army Staff, General Shuaibu, the president acknowledged his past sacrifice and resilience.</p>
<p>“To General Shuaib, I understand you were injured, you recuperated,” he told the Kogi-born officer. “I saw so many stories, clips online of Operation Hadin-Kai. All of you, working together as a team, have made the country proud.”</p>
<p>But he warned that the fight is far from over.</p>
<p>&#8220;Security threats are constantly evolving, constantly mutating,” the president said, citing the emergence of new armed groups in parts of the North-central, North-west and the southern region as a matter of “grave concern.”</p>
<p>“We must be decisive and proactive. Let us smash the new snakes right in the head,” he urged.</p>
