Nigerian president vows to end terrorism, ensure inclusive growth

Nigerian President Bola Tinubu said on Monday that the West African country would defeat terrorism and banditry, describing the threats as “unacceptable” and alien to core values.
Insecurity remained a major hindrance to economic growth and development, requiring urgent collective action, Tinubu said while opening the country’s high-level second National Economic Council (NEC) Conference in the capital, Abuja.
According to him, insecurity had kept all citizens sleepless at night. He assured the citizens that all would soon come to an end, citing his earlier promises. “We will overcome this unacceptable terrorism and banditry. It is not part of our culture. It is foreign to us.”
