 We begin with the report that the National Security Council has assured Nigerians of adequate security despite latest terror alerts warning on the federal capital territory. The U.K. and U.S. government had warned their citizens residing or planning to visit Abuja to be security-conscious as terrorist groups have mapped out plans to attack the nation's capital. Briefing newsmen after the National Security Council meeting presided over by President Muhammad Buhari, the council assured Nigerians that there's no cause for alarm. The alert was targeted at the citizens of the United States residing in Nigeria in Abuja, not at the larger Nigerian society. Now if that thing has cascaded to give a different impression, coloration, there's nothing anybody can do. The damage, whether it is intended or unintended, the damage has been done. People's minds have been, you know, attuned to a state of insecurity which is quite bad. You know, there's nothing we can do if the U.S. Embassy has gone out to give an advisory to its citizens and it has also affected other people. But what I wanted to know is that the advisory was issued to their citizens. As far as we are concerned, our own citizens are not in peril. This is just to illustrate the fact that the security agencies have been doing their work and there's no need for people to be made to panic unnecessarily. Also working with and engaging with the foreign missions within the country to ensure that whatever we do, whatever we say is constructive and should not in any way cause unnecessary alarm and in any way destabilize the country. So just to reassure the country that we are in full engagement with foreign partners and that the security, our national security personnel and agencies are fully on top of the situation and that they're really, as they have said, there's really no cause for alarm. And we want to push more for greater coordination and synergy with also our foreign partners and make sure that that cooperation with them is a constructive one. The Council also advised Nigerians to go about their daily activities without fear. Council also indicated that as mentioned by the National Security Advisor to use the opportunity to assure Nigerians that the armed forces, the police and other security agencies are walking around the clock to ensure that lives and properties of Nigerians are protected. And so far, there's no cause for alarm and Nigerians should go about their normal duties as the armed forces and all the security agencies are well poised to protect them accordingly.
