| Buhari Interacting Wih Nigerians In Dubai |
President
Muhammadu Buhari has said that telecommunication companies operating in Nigeria
must adhere to the rules and guidelines of the Nigerian Communications
Commission, NCC, noting that registration of all mobile phone users without
exception will help security agencies to pre-empt terrorist attacks.
Speaking
at an interactive forum with members of the Nigerian community in Abu Dhabi,
United Arab Emirates, President Buhari urged telecommunications companies not
to place their desire for huge profits above the security needs of the nation.
He called
on all stakeholders to work in unison to halt terrorism in the country and
assured members of the Nigerian community in Abu Dhabi that his administration
will deal decisively with the seeming resurgence of oil theft, vandalism of
pipelines and insecurity in the Niger Delta.
“The oil
thieves and abductors are a less problematic target. We will re-organise and
deal with them. In the face of our new economic reality of dwindling oil
prices, there are a number of things we can really do without 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,” President Buhari said.
Pledging
that more persons who abused the public trust would be exposed and brought to
justice soon, President Buhari maintained 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.
The
President appealed for more patience and understanding from Nigerians as his
administration takes steps to safeguard the economy from the shock of falling
oil prices.
