\u201cThroughout Nigeria today, we commemorate the courage and sacrifice of our veterans \u2014 men and women from all across the country who have sacrificed their lives, their time, and blood and sweat for the nation,\u201d Saraki said in a statement signed by Yusuph Olaniyonu, his spokesperson.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we remember our armed forces who have and continue to sacrifice, we must also remember to pay our respects to the families of our veterans and servicemen and thank them assiduously for their service.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe already have enough recommendations from the various summits, dialogues, and special sessions on security organized by the executive, legislature, non-governmental organisations, and development partners. All a new government should do is harness the recommendations and demonstrate the strong will, determination, and urgency in translating them into operation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere must also be transparency, accountability, and openness in the application of funds devoted to security across the board. We must also prioritize new strategies that will put technology at the forefront of our security arrangement.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must be able to adopt modern-day strategies that will help in intelligence gathering; plugging the financial loopholes that these terrorists and bandits exploit, and stop playing lip service to the issue of security.<\/p>\n

\u201cMoving forward, as we prioritize the security of Nigerian lives as a whole, we must also emphasize the morale and wellbeing of our veterans and our current servicemen and women. The Nigerian government must show those who wish to serve and defend its sovereignty, that it is also willing to make their lives better during and after active duty.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
