SEN. George Akume, secretary to the government of the federation, SGF, has emphasised the important role the federal civil service plays in promoting national security in the country.

Akume made the disclosure while delivering a lecture at the National Defence College Course 33 training programme with the theme: “Strengthening Institutions for National Security and Development in Nigeria: Appraisal of the Civil Service” in Abuja.

He stressed that civil service has contributed immensely in promoting national security through developing and enforcing regulations on national security and also maintaining confidentiality on classified documents.

He said that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in keeping with his Renewed Hope Agenda released the sum of N500 Million to members of Nigerian Legion to improve the welfare of the ex-military personnel who have served the nation meritoriously. 

He lauded the patriotism and professionalism of the military in protecting the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and also maintaining peace in the country. He added that the security situation of the country has improved since the assumption of office of Mr. President in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda.

In his remarks, Rear Admiral Olumuyiwa Morakinyo Olotu, commandant of the National Defence College,  said that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has reeled out transformational policies and strengthening government’s institutions to enable them carry out their statutory functions. 

Olotu urged Nigerians to exercise patience with the government as some of the policies are not quick fixes, but in the long run they will benefit all Nigerians.
