Buhari said that the Nigerian Armed Forces had already dealt “deadly blows” on Boko Haram, so the activities of oil thieves and vandals would soon be brought to an end, his spokesperson, Garba Shehu, said in a statement on Tuesday.
“The oil thieves and abductors are a less problematic target. We will re-organise and deal with them,” he said.
Buhari, on Tuesday in Abu Dhabi warned telecommunication companies operating in Nigeria not to put aside the security needs of the country in their pursuits of huge profits.
President Buhari, at an interactive forum with members of the Nigerian Community in Abu Dhabi, said the war against terrorism can only be won with the collective effort and commitment of everyone, and that registration of all mobile phone users without exception will help the security agencies to pre-empt terrorist attacks. He added that telecommunication companies operating in Nigeria must adhere to the rules and guidelines of the Nigerian Communications Commission in this regard.
“In the face of our new economic reality of dwindling oil prices, there are a number of things we can really do to preserve our economy.
“We must develop the capacity to feed ourselves and we should be spending our resources on real development projects, not luxuries,” he said.
President Buhari assured Nigerians at the session that his administration’s war against corruption will continue to be vigorously pursued. He therefore
appealed to Nigerians for more patience and understanding as his administration takes steps to protect the economy from the shock of falling oil prices.
He pledged to continue the fight against corruption, expose those who have abused the public trust and bring them to justice, adding that his government was committed to re-establishing former standards of accountability and probity in the management of public funds which were jettisoned under past administrations.
