President Buhari on Tuesday said his administration will sustain the offensive against drug trafficking and traffickers who ferry drugs outside Nigeria during his second term in office.
The President who gave the assurance when he received leaders of the Nigerian Community in Saudi Arabia at the end of his performance of the Lesser Hajj or Umrah in that country said efforts would be intensified to expose those involved in drug trafficking and illegal trade in the country.
He said the recent exposure of a network of drug dealers operating at one of Nigeria’s international airports, who were discovered to be tagging bags filled with drugs in the names of innocent passengers called for expansion of searchlights.
“Every country has its own unpatriotic citizens. In China and Saudi Arabia, the laws are stringent on these things. Our citizens must obey our laws.
“They must respect the laws of other jurisdictions and if they don’t, then they should blame themselves, not the harsh laws that they meet,” Buhari said.
While appreciating the support and prayers of Nigerians in Saudi Arabia for the well being of the country, Buhari assured them that his administration would do its best to secure the country, improve the nation’s economy and fight corruption.
“We have tried in the war against terrorism and citizens in the Northeast are our best witnesses. Agriculture is doing well, to the point that we are food self-sufficient, as a result helping the nation to save money on imports,” he added.
