He stated that although security has improved in the country since President Bola Tinubu’s administration came on board, the minister stated that the Boko Haram terrorists and the Islamic State of West Africa Province (ISWAP) have been degraded by troops.

The minister explained that the current administration has led by example in securing the lives and properties of Nigerians.

He urged Nigerians not to judge Tinubu, saying the President is aware of the security challenges.

“The President is sensitive to these issues. Do not judge the President, or this administration by the level of assurance. Talk is cheap, the real deal is the action.

“We came May 29 last year, I don’t want us to bring politics into this. We all know the situations across the board, have we gotten to where we want to get to? The answer is no. Are we where we were? The answer is no. We have made progress,” Tunji-Ojo stated.
