“We have the power, will, strength and determination and our morale is high to end insecurity. I know what you have been doing to rescue the school children unhurt and keep the morale high, the President is behind you one hundred per cent,” he said.
“I have been briefed about your efforts to rescue the kidnapped school children. The strategies that I have been briefed about are going on very well and I am sure you will get them.
