He stated that since the inception of this administration, through the visionary leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari, there have been massive investments in the acquisition and activation of military hardware and operation, one of the reasons the military has been able to significantly improve the internal security in the country, incapacitate insurgency and armed banditry and protect the nation’s offshore assets.

According to the Permanent Secretary, “the complexity of today's security issues necessitates the use of cutting-edge hardware and equipment to combat and subdue terrorists, bandits, and other global security threats.

The military is expected to have more equipment and operational capabilities than the terrorists.” “Unfortunately, this was not so in the past. The reason we have won the fight so far is because the Nigerian military is far ahead the military in terms of capacity and intelligence. No nation wins a war without investing in military hardware. We have won because the government invested massively in equipment and operations”.
