President Muhammadu Buhari has vowed not to leave office a failure.
The president stated this at the National Council on Security meeting held at the State House on Thursday.
Buhari said his administration would tackle the issue of insecurity bedeviling Nigeria before 2023.
Addressing State House Correspondents after the meeting, the National Security Adviser (NSA), Major General Babagana Monguno, said Buhari expressed his determination to effect more changes in the security architecture of the country, if necessary.
Monguna quoted the President as saying he would continue to make changes in security architecture until he is satisfied with the outcome.
According to Monguno, Boko Haram members in their numbers are surrendering in the North-East.
“Large numbers of people are surrendering in the North East as a consequence of the relentless efforts of the Armed Forces, intelligence and security agencies.
“We’ve never had such large numbers of people defecting from the other side back to the Nigerian side, mainly as a result of many issues within the theatre, issues of infighting among the various factions of the terrorist groups.
“But the new drive of the Armed Forces, the police, the intelligence agencies, there’s been greater cooperation, greater synergy, intelligence sharing, as well as our partners in the regional intelligence fusion unit,” he added.
