President Tinubu, who hosted the Vice President Kashim Shettima and 23 governors at his Lagos residence for the Eid el-Fitr, said that he had followed up on support for modern security interventions with French President Emmanuel Macron.

The president said the move was to sustain the campaign against insecurity across the country.

He said he’s making all the efforts to ensure that government at all levels collectively share the joy of the victory over tyranny- Insecurity which is an enemy of development, progress, and prosperity.
