It goes beyond military readiness and military power.”

Therefore my National Security Strategy (NSS) will include a robust plan that consolidates military (hardware) and non-military (software) infrastructure in protecting every Nigerians, including economy and institutions. My administration will rely on tactics that integrate military power, economic power, political power, and diplomacy to ensure a successful implementation.

To achieve this, all hands must be on deck, and all layers of our society must be adequately assessed and accommodated. There will be defined roles for the academia, retired security chiefs, and serving and retired governors”
