President Muhammadu Buhari is being briefed by the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Lucky Irabor and other security chiefs about recent developments associated with the security challenges facing the nation.
The President, who returned to Abuja last Friday after 18 days in London, during which he attended an education summit and did health checks, is receiving the first formal security briefing since he left the country last month.
President Buhari, at the meeting holding at the Conference Hall of the First Lady’s Office at the State House, is to be updated on security developments while plans to bring a decisive end to the challenges will be formulated.
The security forces have in the past few weeks taken the battle more robustly to insurgents, bandits, and all other criminals troubling the country, and they are now surrendering in droves.
Others attending the security meeting include Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, National Security Adviser (NSA), Major-General Babagana Monguno (rtd), the three Service chiefs and the Inspector General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba, among other top security personnel.
