Babatunji Wusu –
According to Nuhu Ribadu, the National Security Adviser, the current administration inherited a bankrupt country from the previous administration of former President Buhari.
On November 13, he stated in Abuja that the revenue generated by the Bola Tinubu-led administration is being used to repay the country’s debts.
“I assure you that the FG will not relent in ensuring a robust & viable defense management & security apparatus to address contemporary challenges, even in the face of enormous budgetary constraints,” he said. Yes, there are financial limits.
It is acceptable for me to inform you. Okay, it’s critical that you understand that we inherited a really terrible situation, essentially a bankrupt country with no money, to the point where we can argue that all of the money we’re getting today is paying back what was taken. It is grave! However, this administration is doing all possible to accommodate our needs, particularly those of the armed forces.
