Adeniyi Amesinlola, commandant of the Nigerian Armed Forces Resettlement Centre (NAFRC), has charged troops to redouble efforts at tackling and eradicating insecurity in the country.

Amesinlola spoke on Friday during the logistics command, Nigerian Air Force (NAF), 2023 end of the year Base Socio-cultural Activities (BASA).

He said the security of the nation must be of top priority.

“We are all aware of the trending terrorism, kidnapping, armed banditry, insurgency and other forms of security challenges in various parts of the country,” NAN quoted Amesinlola as saying.

“This hampers peace and economic development. We must therefore brace up to our responsibilities as professionally trained personnel to nip these menace in the bud.

“The NAFRC will continue to cooperate with the NAF and other sister services and security agencies to ensure peace and tranquility reign within our area of responsibility.”

He commended NAF for organising the event, noting that it would help in “maintaining a highly motivated force by enhancing welfare and infrastructural renewal”.

“The logistics command is keying into this enabler and has also maintained focus in its mandate to provide credible logistics in support of NAF operations for the enhancement of national security,” Amesinlola said.

“If this culture is maintained in the military, it will further boost the morale of personnel to always give in their best particularly in tackling security and other challenges in our country.

“I congratulate the Air Officer Commanding (AOC) AVM Yaro Abdullahi and his entire staff on the several successes recorded by the command in the year 2023.

“We pray that this year, your capabilities will be strengthened and the display of loyalty and achievements will be outstanding.”
