President Muhammadu Buhari has charged the Security Chiefs to arise to the securty challenges afflicting the nation.
The president, who met with the Security Chiefs on Thursday at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, insinuated that their best is not good enough.
He warned that excuses would no longer be tolerated and asked them to do more to secure the nation and its people.
The National Security Adviser (NSA), Retired Major General Babagana Monguno, disclosed this to State House correspondents at the end of the meeting.
He added that the President has ordered him to meet with the state governors in the North-West and that of Niger State, in other to identify the problems and find solutions to them.
President Buhari met with the Service Chiefs against the backdrop of bandit attacks on communities in the region, including those in his home state of Katsina.
The attacks left several people dead and many others injured in the affected states, while lots of properties were destroyed by the bandits.
This sparked criticism over the worsening insecurity in the country, especially the North West where the armed men have wreaked havoc in recent times.
As part of efforts to address the situation, Monguno, in company with the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu and others had embarked on a fact-finding mission to Katsina and Sokoto States.
